  • A female Great Gray Owl takes flight in the hills of Mount Aukum as she watches her young nearby in the trees. The Great Gray Owl is one of the most majestic and rare birds in North America. Until recently, it's been found in California almost exclusively around Yosemite, in mountain meadows. Now that's changed --  three pairs are nesting, in of all places, outside Placerville, startling scientists and bird watchers. What's more, they are nesting not in untrammeled wilderness but on a logging company's land.  Mount Aukum is a small foothills town south of Placerville, and north of Jackson is were the bird were found. July 7, 2011.
