Snowy owls of 2012
These magnificent owls have come down in large numbers this year to our area and beyond. I even had one up the street from where I live for a couple days. It has been a real pleasure photographing them. I have seen quite a few now ranging from all over the GTA.As I have said before I do not give out the location of my owls for safety reasons. All my owls are shot with a 150-500 mm sigma lens and may also be cropped. I sit and wait and keep warm in my car on most of these occasions. Great things come to those with patience without bothering the bird in any way. Enjoy!
Snowy Owls
My adventures all over this winter have brought forth many snowy owls. My biggest birds in fact this winter have been various owls and eagles locally. Due to the safety of these birds I do not give out my locations. Thank you for understanding
.Here we have an owl bringing up a pellet and another one flying off after catching a vole right by my car. Ann & I were parked there at the side of the road as I was writing our list for the GBBC and all of a sudden this snowy flew in and swooped back to a nearby pole. She swooped again second time catching the little vole in the ditch right beside us. Talk about a surprise. I couldn't even get a shot she was so close. Until she flew of into the field with her meal did I get to snap a few off. What an amazing experience that was.
