awesome... hard enough to find an owl in the daytime. You got it in flight that's effort and skill.

I did put a lot of effort in, but lucky for me these are daytime hunters from the arctic. It is rare to see them that high up! They are usually lower to the ground listening for voles under the snow! I'm lucky it wasn't an overcast day like so many were when I was shooting these owl photos! Thanks for taking the time to view my gallery, leave comments and peer awards! It is very much appreciated!

I love the magic of white on white. Winter rabbit camouflaged against snow with rim lighting. A challenge to expose for!
