Excellent work, Don! Good to see you posting again.


Thanks Mike. It's been a difficult year, loosing my wife and the challenges that come with such events. Getting back on track and hoping to get out more with camera in hand.

This beautiful female Arctic Snowy Owl has come from parts unknown and has settled on various rooftops in Cypress, CA. During the day, she stays within a 4 block area sharing her beauty with various home owners. She has been here about three weeks feeding at night from a nearby military base. In a couple of the photos she is coughing up regurgitated pellets. The pellets (probably rats) are made up of bones and fur the owl wont digest. Her brown coloring indicates she is a female. Males are mostly all white. Shot with a hand-held Nikon Z9 70-200 w/2x TC. Cropped quite a bit.
