Snowy owls: We have seen a few snowy owls here in MA recently as it is the winter season. Some years, you can't find them but during irruption years, you can find a lot! This year...

We have seen a few snowy owls here in MA recently as it is the winter season. Some years, you can't find them but during irruption years, you can find a lot! This year seems to be in between.

Two different birds, both taken at/near sunset with my Olympus om-d e-m1 mark III with 300mm prime. Cropped and topaz denoise. Fun camera to play with (bought for birding) although I still want to get a Canon r5 in the next year...

Last year I got quite a few in flight. This year, they only took off late at dusk when light was very low. Still I guess I should try.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your replies! I like to hear if people like the shots as I can never tell objectively on my one stuff.

Happy holidays and stay safe!

Great shots. Are you near Duxbury? I haven't had any sightings near me. Last year was depressing. Im hoping for better luck this year. Gary

I haven’t gone to Duxbury this year. Saw them at Plum Island and Salisbury. Both on the beach.

Thanks for the info. Im jealous!!! 2018 and 19 there was a female on Gooseberry Island on the Dartmouth/Westport line. She wasn't camera shy and drop dead beautiful. I'm hoping she comes back! Gary
