Snowy Paparazzi
by Lesley Mattuchio

This Snowy Owl has to be the most photographed Snowy in the wild in New England! He is very accommodating to photographers and this morning I went at sunrise and was able to get within 10' of him for his close-ups!

Canon EOS 1D Mark II
1/2500s f/5.6 at 420.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
