At Thickson Woods.
This was my best pic. Unfortunately the bird was not very co-operative!

Great pics Zed!
I was sad today when the lady at mountsberg said that the snowies weren't in the program  :(
Guess I'll be keeping my eyes out to see when the snowies arrive  :D

Nice ones John.  The GHO at Thickson's is definitely a hard shoot.  I'm with Crystal - disappointed that the Snowies and Bald Eagles weren't available for our shoot yesterday.

Thanks!
Crystal & Moira - Snowies are amazing looking birds, I would have been disappointed too. I shot these thru the fence.
Denis & Moira - That GHO is hard to shoot, but it's my 2nd owl and at least I got something!

Nice Shots!
The snowies are gorgeous (love the green background too)
Mountsberg is an awesome place even if you have to shoot them through the fence :)

Thanks Irene.
I shot one other owl and five raptors thru the fence as well, however the backgrounds turned out much too busy.
