Hello everyone. Seen the the Bald Eagle in NH. Was able to catch it flying high and free. The Snowy Owl was on the seacoast of NH. Just before flying to the pole it preened it's feathers and (pooed), and left a pellet on the rock (left side of Snowy Owl). It does those 3 things before its evening hunt most of the time. Hope you enjoy the photos. Enjoy!

Nice set. The Snowy that I had been watching hasn't been seen since Tuesday. I think she headed back North. She's the only thing I'm going to miss about winter! Gary

A few winters ago I was able to nab shots of a snowy at Rye Beach. Was that where you were at?

The photo on the rock had the setting sun shining on the owl. The sun then went in the clouds and the owl flew to the left. I PP in Lightroom but WB setting is the same.

Yes. This Snowy Owl is usually at Rye Harbor area. This weekend along the coast was hit bad by the recent storm.

Thank you Gary. Keep looking. Probably hiding from the recent storm. Animals know before we do when storms are coming.

Thanks JeffDavidson. Lately this owl comes around late and the lighting is poor. Last time I seen him it was after sunset and it went out to the ocean at Rye Harbor and flew back with a small duck in its talons. My ISO was high but my shutter speed was also high and photos came out too underexposed.

Thank you dragon64. You're welcome. It's nice to get any raptor in flight.
