20141229 323 SERIES - Snowy Ow, .jpg

Ottawa West

The snow may have disappeared over Xmas, but I got three "Snowies" today, A snowy Owl, A Snowshoe Hare and a Snow Bunting as shown.

Top image: A Snowy Owl, that wouldn't let us get too close.


A Snowshoe Hare, one of five regulars that visit a local bird-feeding location.


One of two Snow Buntings that we almost stepped on as we were looking for the snowy Owl. This one then perched on a fence, in the open, and the normally skittish/elusive Bunting let us get up close for some good shots.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/1250s f/7.1 at 400.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A fantastic trio that you've expertly captured, Hank! It would be a thrill of a lifetime if I could just see a snowy owl in the wild, much less get a shot of one.

In the absence of snow, three excellent "snowies" to remind us that it is NOT over yet.
Very well done, Hank.

Very nice finds Hank....much easier to find these white ones without snow around!
Three great shots :))
