Beautiful capture Paul. Looks like a nice big healthy Owl
You can even see the ear tuffs.
This is your time of year to really shine. I am looking forward to many more Owl pictures from you.

I've seen snowies a few times.  Gorgeous birds and that is a fabulous shot.  If you travel north of Fergus, around the Metz area, and just criss-cross the concession roads you have a pretty good chance of seeing one many days over the winter.

The pic is not showing but checked it with your flickr link.

That is one excellent shot.

Sweet!  We saw a couple Snowys on Saturday.  Always a pleasure to see.  Nice you got the eye color, something I have yet to get due to bad light conditions and often the birds being far off.

I'm going to Amherst Island in January, and now I'm more excited than ever! Great shot!

We used to see Snowy Owls in the winter when I lived in Bruce County, haven't seen any since I moved to the sunny south.  I am hoping to stop at Amherst Island on my way to Montreal after Christmas.  I would love to get a good picture of a Snowy, by far one of my favourite birds.
