Here is an image that I failed to post from some time ago. Not much in the way of field owls yet this year. This shot taken at Boundary Bay during the "Great Snowy Owl Irruption" in the spring of 2012. Must have been a new arrival as the tips of the wing and tail feathers are still clean and not covered with Boundary Bay mud.

Here is a second image of the same owl after it had flown past me and landed on a nearby log.

Here is another image during "The Great Snowy Owl Irruption" of 2012. Probably could have got it a bit sharper but I didn't have the 600 IS2 in those days. Somewhat better eye contact in this shot as well.

Other than a one day sighting on someone's roof down island I have not seen a snowy owl in the wild for over a decade. Sure would be nice to get a few shots of one or more of them out in the field this year. This particular image was taken during the great snowy owl eruption of 2012. We did pretty good with our 16MP DSLR cameras back in those days.

This snowy was keeping an eye on me as he glided by me while I stood on the dike at Boundary Bay.
