In a nature scene I've not witnessed, this Snowy Owl suddenly went into a defensive posture. At the same time, one of the observers standing next to me yelled out "Gyrfalcon!". One had been reported in the Mirabel area harassing Snowy Owls last week. It turned out to be a Peregrine Falcon in the end, but an interesting encounter nonetheless.

Just prior to the snow starting, the clouds went slightly darker blue. It helped with the background of this Snowy Owl sitting in a tree on the north side of Mirabel Airport. The third of 5 owls seen today.

St. Rose - I am now concentrating on types of Snowy Owl shots that I don't have yet. I have seen about 55 different birds this winter and this ranks at the top of the list as the 'cleanest' adult male. Likely only about 2-3% of this year's migrants look like this.

St. Isidore - The significance of today's photo is not this particular bird, it is what it represents. On this very cold day in Eastern Ontario we had 32 Snowy Owls over a 6 hour period. This is a personal record and is incredible. If we could have been in multiple areas simultaneously at the peak time of 3-5 pm, adding areas we didn't even cover, we could easily have had double that number of owls.

St. Isidore - Lucky find. As I noted with previous Snowy shots, I've been struggling to find a bird in a setting other than on telephone poles. Today was my day.

St. Isidore - When searching for Snowy Owls the #1 spots are roadside telephone or power poles followed by silos.
