Wolfe Island- Kingston. Despite another snow dump today, winter is getting long in the tooth. A few Snowies are still present in the Kingston area. This attractive bird sat concealed on the ground until late in the day. I got a few pictures in low light with its eyes open, always a plus.

Wolfe Island - Kingston - Despite the lateness of the hour, this old male had a hard time waking up from his nap. There are only a few birds left this week.

Kingston - Wolfe Island. This striking adult male looks right at home in a rock pile. It looks like he is back in the Arctic.

St. Rose - I was photographing this bird on a pole for about five minutes when it took off hunting. It flew close overhead and I couldn't even get it all in but that was OK. The light was perfect.

Kingston - Wolfe Island. Finally had a chance to shoot a great looking male. This was a banner day. We made a concerted effort to do a Snowy count and ended up with 47 birds. Without knowing key places to look and how to look (have to stay until after sunset) you'd come away with about 20-25 birds which is still great.

St. Rose - Went back to a favourite regional location today and was surprised to see a good number of Snowies. Most were still on the ground at a distance but a couple were closer to the road.

Kingston - Wolfe Island This bird called (a shriek) about a dozen times over a five minute period. It was not calling to me but possibly to a bird in the distance. Most of the time it was facing away as it called. It was the most I have heard any Snowy Owl call.

At the very end of the day, a few rays of sunlight came in on this one, at West Vancouver. He doesn't want the Snowy Owl to overtake his spot as the top photographed bird. Currently tally is 168 to 166 in favour of the Heron :)

St. Rose - back to check on our regional Snowies on a snowy day. For a change this bird was perched at eye level on a sign rather than atop a power pole.

St. Rose - there was just enough sunlight to highlight the bird's beautiful eyes. As usual, the bird was on a pole, annoyingly oblivious to me in my van. She did occasionally look, just long enough to get the shots I was after. She didn't care about small vehicles but she took off when a noisy larger truck passed by.
