A most welcome find
Always glad to see a Snowy

Better than nothing - this is NOT my main photo!

High wire act
On a bitterly cold, hoar frosty day
The only one
So far away, but better than nothing
Beware!

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 : )
One-eyed beauty
It's all about the EYES
Snowy Owl female
He made our day!
Snowy Owl
Worthy of another look
One of 12 - and a wooden pole for a change : )
Yesterday's treat : )
With a wink and a smile
In your dreams
A reward for facing my fears : )
Avian perfection
Beautiful, but blurry
Not one wire, but two ... sigh
Beauty on the power pole
Such a treat
Always a happy sight
Curiosity from up high
A welcome visitor
Take-off
Afternoon nap
Got my eyes on you
What a treat : )
Breathtaking beauty
Sunlit, distant beauty

You never know where you'll see a Snowy Owl
This was Snowy Owl number 4 that we came across three days ago, on 13 January 2018, when a group of us went east of the city in search of owls and anything else. This was the last Snowy that friend Tony and I saw before it was time for us to get back to the city, as he had some final preparations to get done before heading off on a trip. After we had left the rest of the group, we came across a fifth Snowy, perched on a piece of machinery in a field. A nice treat before we headed back to civilization. I heard later that the rest of the group saw a total of seven Snowy Owls, as they stayed out for the whole afternoon. Despite seeing a total of 8 Snowies on this day, this winter doesn't seem to be a good year for these owls. Some years, the Internet is full of photos of these spectacular visitors, but this year I'm not seeing many. Thanks so much for the ride, Tony - so much appreciated, as always.
After all the frigid weather we have had so far this winter, this day felt balmy. Actually, I'm not sure what the temperature was, but it must have been above 0C. There was no cold wind and it just felt pleasant. The sun was shining and the sky was full of 'good' clouds. Not sure why almost all my photos were too blurry to keep - maybe the light wasn't as good as I thought it was. However, I did get a shot of each of the owls, so I'm happy. A few other bird species were also seen, including Common Redpolls and Horned Larks, Gray Partridge, Magpies, etc.. Tony also spotted a Prairie Falcon on our way back to the city.
Many thanks, Terry, as usual, for taking us on this owl prowl. It was a great trip and, especially for those who had never seen a Snowy Owl before, a most amazing experience. As with any kind of owl, it doesn't matter how many one sees, I always find each time is as awesome as the very first time.
