Title: Evening Snowy Owl Shoot
Post by: Paul O'Toole on March 19, 2018, 09:25:36 PM
All images under natural conditions, had to wait about 2 hours for anything to happen but it was worth the wait.


The Warmup

Success, missed the actual grab as it was below the small grass slope

Gorgeous bird in golden light with fast acting reflex with camera - the result is awesome.

I believe your Snowy's are as comfortable with you as you seem to be with them.
You must be on a recognition basis .... can see it in those eyes, but then again it might be the sight of a vole.
A natural capture series where predator and interloper are sympathetic.
I must now declare you, with little reservation, to be the Snowy Owl Whisperer.

So happy you are back!
