Birds Male Snowy Owl

[Kathryn Milner]

Snowy Owls fly south from the Arctic tundra to Alberta and more southern locations in winter. It is always a thrill to see them. This is a male and you can tell because males are mostly white. Females have a lot more markings on them. We were fortunate he did not fly as we carefully walked quite a way to get closer to him.

Fantastic images Kathryn. I wish we had these beautiful birds here in the UK. Still, a good reason to travel further afield when we are allowed!

Very nice Kathryn, good to see a selection of images from habitat to frame fillers.

Thank you very much. We have noticed the same with some species you have posted - the beautiful robin and the kingfisher are so beautiful and so different than we have here.

Great shots. I have seen a few but have not gotten too many good flight or closer shots.

Thank you! They are exciting to see. The shutter speed on the mechanical shutter made it so I caught the flight picture. So glad it was so quick.

Beautiful images. Whenever I shoot snowy owls there is no sun. The eyes really stand out with the lighting.
