Wolf Island

So far this year I've only gotten good shots of snowy Owls perched on poles or sitting on the ground. This is my favourite Snowy Owl shot taken seven years ago. I'm hoping to get a few more like it this year as there seem to be lots of Snowies around again.

Nikon D200 ,Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR
1/1600s f/10.0 at 500.0mm iso250 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
