Snowy Owl at the beach

I wish I had a more natural perch but I had to take what I could get. She landed on this sign and outlasted me. The wind was out of the north and biting. I hope you enjoy. Gary

Love the squinty eyes and danger sign! Like it is trying to look tough and dangerous! Nice shots!

Snowy owls seem to love man made perches.
Your photos are still terrific.

Thank you very much. I completely agree with you. They love those posts, that look uncomfortable to me. Gary

Thank you very much. She was looking into the wind. It wasn't howling but it was steady and cold. I think that is why she was squinting. I thought the danger sign was funny too. Our Sea Ducks pay a heavy price every winter when the Snowy's visit. That bird looks pretty but it's a stone cold killer. Gary

Thank you very much Gregory. I don't think you will be seeing any where you are, it may be a bit warm for them. Gary

Thank you very much Karin. I'm very glad you enjoyed them. I like that you get to see the yellow eyes in #1 too. Sometimes you get lucky and they open their eyes wide but I think the wind was stopping her from doing that today. Gary
