20170120 3356 Snowy Owl.jpg

Ottawa West

Two of us spotted an all white male quite far out on a fence post . We decided to traipse through the snow and get close enough for some shots. We took some distant shots, but didn't get very close before the male suddenly took off. We assumed it was due to our approach; however, all of a sudden we spotted this larger female flying in low towards us over the corn-stubble fields. She perched on a fence post not far from us. The approach of the much larger female seemed to be the cause of the sudden flight of the male. The female gave us a good, wide-eyed, look-over, thus allowing us to get quite a number of shots. After a while, she decided that we had no "carrots" and therefore she flew off again.
