WOW!! This is a rarity in the States. It habitat is the western border of California, Oregon and then mid Washington and northern Idaho, and like you say rare in southern Idaho. It is the biggest owl we have. It is common in Canada and Alaska but in the lower forty eight it is rare. Really good find, they are hard to spot; you hear them mostly but that's about it.
Beautiful photos; they both belong on your wall.

I had to check my bird book, I thought the Snowy Owl was bigger but I was wrong. I have photographed both, not side by side and maybe because it being white (SO) it just looked bigger.

What a find and to think I drive all the way to Yellowstone for that kind of shot! Nampa is a lot closer so maybe I'll drive down. Please keep the GG occupied until I get there. Great shot!
