With the Canadian dollar being so low why not head to Calgary? lots of snowies in the area.

Thank you!

Beautiful shot-the tiny branch is almost comical. Really shows how, as big as they are, they really don't weigh all that much.

Thank you! There are 6 that I'm tracking right now. All are large, but this one and another about 3 miles away are huge!

OH man.... a 700 mile round trip for me.... hmmmmm, oh, wait, yup gatta work all week!

I'm lucky, almost all of my wildlife images this time of year I get while I'm at work. I carry my gear everyday and I my route to my wells and back is about 60 miles so there is almost always something to shoot!

I've thought of that too, but not sure how the public would perceive a sheriff's deputy truck with a 600m lens sticking out the window, but, there might be that occasional nightscape or sunset that gets taken.

You are lucky! Great shots!

Thanks Cole, heck everyone would just think you're on a stake out!

Everyone's said it, but I'll just add one more-beautiful shot of a beautiful bird!

Thanks Rog, comments are always appreciated!
