Ottawa

My first Snowy for this season. It was the closest I've ever seen one to my house, only about 5 minutes by car, right on the shore of the Ottawa River. I managed to sneak this shot through a small opening in some branches.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S
1/1000s f/7.1 at 420.0mm iso1000 full exif

Looks like it's taking a look at you, Hank. Do you see them every year, or just during irruptions?
