This was a rare individual snowy owl that migrated to Oregon and quickly became a local sensation...

Note the straw in its mouth... it had just swallowed a vole:

those are great shots. Really clear and sharp. I have not had any shots that sharp out of my 70-200 that I can think of. Also you are lucky you have owls that come out during the day. I just got my first owl today but it was asleep in a tree high up and I barely got a halfway decent shot that I could see it.

Thank you, No Angle! These were taken with my 400mm f/5.6, and I was lucky to be able to get to the bird close enough so I could take these. The bird seemed comfortable, as it was sitting on a post by the road and concentrating on the mice activity around. It was fun watching and photographing the bird.
