Nicely done! What a great bird. I even hate to open these owl threads up as I drool for a couple of days afterwards. Just never see any owls of any kind. I hear a screech owl at night but never see them.

Love the pose on this shot. Well done.

I spent many hours on Amherst Island and I never did get to see a Snowy. Oh well, mabey next time
I get out there.

Cyclop... thanks for the comment!

Duane N... yes, males are a lot lighter then females and juveniles. I shoot in manual but I think the exposure was about +2 in this shot. That sky is untouched and really was that blue.

Trmwf... I am lucky enough to live in an area that has lots of owls in varous locations. Snowies are the hardest to find though.

The_Caper... The resident snowy at Amherst is usually found on the osprey platform.
