White-on-White, Snowy Owl - New England

On day #3 of my trip we had a lot of snow which made it very difficult to spot the owls but lots of fun to drive around .

This male was hunting and for the first time, I saw one eat a rodent. The owl skimmed the snow and pulled a rodent from within the snow. I didn't see a thing moving but the owl did! LOL!

Hope you aren't bother with so many Snowy Owls images. More to come!

Canon 1D MKIV, Canon 800mm L @ f/8, 1/400 sec, ISO 640 in Manual mode.

Thanks!

Very well done, Maxis! That's not an easy exposure to balance there. And no, not likely to get tired of Snowy shots; they're fascinating birds

Beautiful shot Maxis. Frim what I've read, they hear, as much as see, any movement under the snow. That's why it's important for them to have quiet around them so they can hear their prey.
