Title: Snowy Owl Enjoying Lunch at Yacht Club Marina
Post by: Rob'in'To on February 23, 2012, 08:24:15 AM: Ring-billed Gull... the other, OTHER white meat? Pretty impressive I think for this Snowy to catch a Gull for lunch. Such a brief show for me, work beckoned. But so worth it to see. Shots are cropped quite a bit.

Snowy took carcass in talons and bounced with it closer to the post next to her. Good tenderizing tactic?

Ummm. What can I say? Sorry to the squeamish?

If this is the last Snowy I see and try to photograph for the winter; sure ended off with a bang! So neat to see one doing something besides "chilling out".
