Found a second adult male Snowy Owl

I found a second adult male Snowy Owl late today.

A family happened to be walking by and saw me photographing it. They started to watch birds this year to instill in their young kids an appreciation for such things. I set up a spotting scope to allow them an up close look. A 45* angle scope can be set very low allowing all three kids (maybe aged from 2 years old to 5 or 6) to have a good look. It was their first ever snowy owl. I was thrilled just to share this magnificent bird with them.

A wonderful experience for both you and the children. Great close-up.

Great find; and beautiful sharp image. As they say in new Orleans: "Fait les bon temps rolle".

Thanks Catherine. I actually saw this owl perched on a tall street lamp post while driving by. The orange coloured glow in the lower right is the light from the lamp underneath.

Nice capture on the farm equipment, another sharp shot!
