Snowy Owl – male
Today I had the pleasure of spending some time with a beautiful Snowy Owl in an agricultural area near my home. The problem with this area is that they are often perched on farm equipment, roof tops, or other hand-of-man elements. I plan to return to photograph this owl frequently in hopes of finding him sitting in a pine tree or even on the snow covered fields, but for now I thought I would share these images from this afternoon. As the owl took flight I was able to grab a few frames, but did clip the wing in the best flight capture…ooops!
Hope you like the images.

Wow, what a treat to see this magnificent bird. Great photos too. Even with the clipped wing. I kind of like it like that.
Katie, thanks very much. They are such beautiful birds. I hope to have another 2-3 months of trying to get some more image before he flies north again.
Nice, I know how hard it is to get one in flight, good job

Much appreciate the comments.
I am so envious. I wish I were having a snowy winter!
Denise, if only I had an 800mm lens
I hope you get to find a snowy down your way soon. I found him again toady, but it was overcast and very drizzly.
Oh wow, look at him! He’s gorgeous! You are lucky to get to see him!
Too bad you can’t make your photo’s larger so I can admire them better.
(just wishful thinking on my part)
I hear owls all the time, they are usually across the pond and it’s always at night. Although I do on occasion hear them in the daytime. They sound so mysterious. I don’t think I could ever get a photograph of them!
Your photography is amazing! You are a true nature lover
Sandy, thanks for the kind words. I often hear owls at night as well, but usually in the spring when I am out in the ponds photographing frogs.
Great shots! I’m more than a bit jealous – I’ve never seen one of these live in the wild before.
Much appreciated Mike!
haven’t seen any this year yet, but when the food in the far north becomes hard to find, we see them here in the kawarthas. Great pictures. awsome
Thanks for stopping by Randy, much appreciate the comments.
Gorgeous! …you are really lucky to see such beauty!
