Snowy & wing print

Along my adventures in the bitter cold we had last weekend I saw some wonderful things. I went to an area and decided to get out and do a wee walk. To my amazement as I walked a bit I came across a wing print in the snow surrounded by a lot of fox prints and probable coyote as well along the trail. I guess some little critter got taken as a much needed meal on this terribly cold day. Food that was much needed. Then I looked up and not far away was a beautiful white bird. I am guessing the bird that belonged to this wing print in the snow. This beautiful snowy owl was just sitting in a tree with the terribly cold winds blowing her feathers. Facing into the sun which to me did not bear much heat. But she was clearly enjoying it just the same. I got only a couple of shots and turned to head back to the car. Walking into the wind turned out to be a real challenge. But it was well worth it and the car heated me up quickly.That is what winter is about after all.
