Snowy Owl

Thanks everyone for your kind comments....

Thanks Patty and Austin. I visited Sax-Zim Bog (Minnesota) for an afternoon and the next morning and found three rare species of owls: snowy, great gray, and northern hawk owls. I managed to photograph all three with varying success, but these two shots were my favorites of the trip. Sax-Zim Bog is an up and coming winter birding location (although summer is also very good). There is some talk of it becoming a National Wildlife Refuge because of its rare and unusual species. Very cool place (especially in winter...grin).
