This is probably my last shots of the snowy owls for this winter. At least this one wasn't 300 meters away or on an antenna.

2.


Thanks for looking.

Great catches. What a beautiful bird. Congrats.

I still didn't see one myself even though I kept hearing of them in this area.

Great stuff, Charles. Especially #2. I agree with the others... this is your best work yet. Keep it up and keep them coming.

Thanks Jerry. Maybe they'll stick around until I'm off work again. I'll keep my fingers crossed they are here next week. I still don't have a flight shot that isn't a butt shot.

Thanks Ramon. That's a lovely spot but bring rubber boots in the Spring.
