So far away, but better than nothing
The only one
On a bitterly cold, hoar frosty day

Snowy Owl and pellet
On a cold and windy day
Making sure we go the right way
Touched by the sun
The challenge of photographing Snowy Owls
On the way to pure whiteness
So beautiful
White against blue
My Christmas present to my daughter : )
The day before Christmas
Some white patches have eyes : )
Is it a Snowy? ... no, it isn't ... yes, it is!
Just for my records
A beautiful setting
Always a thrill
The long and the short of it : )
Snowy Owl
Worthy of another look
Avian perfection
A reward for facing my fears : )
In your dreams
With a wink and a smile
Yesterday's treat : )
One of 12 - and a wooden pole for a change : )
Beauty on the power pole
Not one wire, but two ... sigh
Beautiful, but blurry
Curiosity from up high
Always a happy sight
Such a treat

Beware!
Last night, when choosing three photos to post this morning, I happened to come across this old shot from my archives. It was taken at the Calgary Zoo on 2 May 2011, when a pair of Snowy Owls was in a small enclosure near the Tigers. SInce then, the only Snowies at the Zoo are over in the Aviary. It has been too long to remember for sure, but I think this was most likely the female rather than a juvenile bird.
With so many people now going outside the city to look for, and photograph, these amazing birds of prey that have moved south in search of food, I thought this photo might be a good reminder of yet another reason to keep ones distance, lol. Those talons mean business! I sometimes think I must be the only person who isn't out to get photos of these owls in flight! Please don't deliberately flush them - they are already tired and stressed enough. Of course, they sometimes fly simply because they want to, in their search for yet another rodent.
Actually, I was lucky enough to see two very, very distant Snowy Owls yesterday, when I went with a group of 7 friends to take part in the first annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count of the season. This is one of my favourite counts, mainly because our small group covers one of my favourite areas, SE of the city.
