Beauty on the power pole

This was the sixth and last Snowy Owl that our small group of four came across on 4 January 2013. Only one of the Snowy Owls was actually within our territory on the Horseshoe Canyon/Drumheller Christmas Bird Count, so even though we couldn't count the other five, we had the joy of simply seeing them (some were far away). Our territory was north of the River, including the Tyrrell Museum area. The owl in my image was the last owl we saw, on our way back to Calgary, taken when sunset was not far away. Had to brighten the image a fair bit.
