Every few years, these special owls come down from the far northern tundra. A special treat.
They often are juveniles, as this one is.

If I even saw this owl in person, I would be ecstatic. To see it and be able to capture it, is amazing!

Whaat a wonderful shot. You captured a beautiful subject with great use of depth of field.

Thanks, Jim and Michael. Jim, I assume they are up there, but haven't seen any reports on Tweeters yet.

Oh, my, what a grand opportunity. Beautiful image of this guy. Not expecting them down this way...

YAY!!! They're back!!! I think I may just have to take a trip up to Boundary Bay this Sunday and see if they're up there again, too. Nice capture, Terry! They are such beautiful birds! And, thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks so much, Hal. Yes, a bit sinister - but that's the way birds of prey are. I have some shots showing blood on its feathers above its claws. We are truly lucky to have one show up in what is essentially our back yard.

This is marvelous Terry. How fortunate to see and get shots of this bird. lt has quite a sinister appearance. Well done
