I couldn't get close enough to really photograph the Owl like I wanted and the lighting wasn't good...but I don't care...this was a lifer for me!

Great shots Jan, Lucky you got them, My daughters holiday makers last year said they had see a small day time owl on her property. Despite looking I sadly have never seen it.

I share your excitement and pride in finding, seeing and photographing a Snowy Owl!
This year was expectional as far as the number of Snowy Owls that moved down into the US but there were "few" that actually saw these owls.
There should be an award for those that did see them!!!!

It certainly was exciting...especially when I just about gave up on ever seeing one...but then I just got lucky :-D

What a catch, Jan! Who cares about lighting or any other conditions when you capture a lifer. Well done, and what a beauty!!!

I know what you mean,being able to see and shoot them in the wild. I've seen them and shot them close up in a re-hab center.
