20181207 2177 Snowy Owl2.jpg

Ottawa West

This big boy just wanted to have a snooze and hence let us get quite close. It was a windy coldddddddd afternoon and he was quite a distance from the road; hence, I only got a few shots. In this shot he is just peeking out at us, perhaps wondering what the two of us dummies were doing out in the middle of the field, in the biting cold, far from our nice warm cars.

It was worth to leave your warm car. Impressive Owl, I've never seen one yet. Well framed and exposed image. V.

That is one very relaxed snowy owl, and you've captured it perfectly.
