Bird Photography Weekly # 61


This photo is from this past January, the Snowy Owls were reported being seen all along the East coast. The Snowy owl was one bird I just had to see and top on my list, I talked hubby into walking on the Assateague beach for 3 1/2 miles one way to see this Snowy owl. The photo is cropped, I did not want to get too close and spook the beautiful owl.



This Snowy Owl was seen sitting on the top off a sand dune on the Assateague beach.

  2. I love owls! They're on my "sure wish I could get a picture of one" list. These are great photos. Glad you talked your husband into walking (and walking...) to get the pictures.

  11. Oh my gosh..what a treat to see these beautiful raptors. I like that you didn't want to disturb it. For some people seeing it is more important...Michelle

  13. Great Owl photos, Eileen! This is one the birds I want to see before I leave the U.S. for good. But...travel to the East Coast is out of the question at the moment.

  17. Excellent shots of the Snowy Owl Eileen! I would have walked as far as I had to to see that bird. I will be looking for sightings of this bird closer to California and try to catch it this winter.

  19. Wow, that is awesome! We would see the snowies once in a great while where I grew up in the Alleghenies--folks said it was because the snowshoe rabbit population had crashed so they came south for food.
