  • I drove up to Canada a few years back and was welcomed with -13F temps and a foot of snow, the windchill was -25F and I was out looking for snowy owls and I found one. After ten to fifteen minutes I was shaking so much no matter how much IS or IBIS I wasn't getting any keepers. It was still a fun trip to see these amazing birds out in those conditions like it was nothing.

  • They are such beautiful birds and I have yet to see one in real life!!! I am trying though and one day I will accomplish my goal. The lockdowns made me develop an interest in birds and wildlife photography. Before that I’d never consider photographing wildlife. It is so fulfilling learning about animals that surround us and sometimes we have no idea of their existence!!!

  • Mark, you no doubt know, but many people don't, that an owl's eyes do not move the way a human's eyes do - they are basically fixed, which is why owls can, and do move their heads seemingly 360 degrees. Their "head bobbing & tilting" behavior helps them get a 3D sense of what they are looking at. (I'm not sure if that is true for every type of owl.) From a Canadian who very much appreciates your amazing photography. Thanks for sharing!

I've been trying to find owls for years, and while I finally got some photos of a snowy owl a few years back, it was honestly pure luck that I happened to cross paths with one on the beach one winter... Looking forward to growing as a photographer, and part of that is being in the right place, at the right time. Thanks for sharing!
