First snow of the winter season set in today, and with it came my first Snowy Owl photo of the season. A note related to this photo - whether a good or bad idea, the Montreal Airport authority has a fauna control officer who I saw while taking this photo setting a large trap. The plan is to capture the owl and I believe to relocate it farther away from the airport. My thought - the Snowy Owl is rather stationary and insignificant compared to other hazards that airplanes face such as large flocks of Canada Geese, etc.

This bird flew in right over me while leaving work today. Was lucky to get some good late-day light to capture the bird known as "Yuli" by the Montreal Airplane Spotters group. Dorval, Quebec, Canada.

I found this Snowy Owl sleeping at night near runway 24R at the Montreal Airport in Dorval. My first attempt at a long exposure of this species; photo taken at 8:30pm under a cloudy sky. The backside of the bird is only slightly lit by the hangar lights.
