Had an awesome day Sunday looking for these marvellous Creatures.
Spotted a record for me 15 Snowy Owls, 3 Falcons and A Golden Eagle
Enjoy

It's been decades since I've seen a "White Owl" cigar commercial, but every time I see owls like these, it's what pops into my head.

Beautiful birds, and shots. I like that it's snowing in a couple of them.

Thanks for all the kind words.
I've lived here my entire life and this is my first year "birding" I can't beleive how many I've spotted and makes me wonder how many times I have passed one without even taking notice before

Very nice series here #1 would be a huge hit in my book if there would have been eye contact ! besides that beautifully done on all ! Eagle shot looks a little blurry but as if you was shooting these snowys perched that flight shot woulda been goofy setup but well done catching it !!

I found 1 more photo I had previously missed when uploading the 350 + Pictures I shot that day.
I really liked how the sun was even on both eyes. Let me know what you all think
