Ingleside - in the dying minutes of the day the bird was quite active. I have changed my strategy for shooting Snowy Owls. I no longer bother with morning shots and during the day they are on the ground, often well out in fields so inaccessible. I start looking by 2 p.m. on sunny days and 1:30 on cloudy days at this time of year. They are more alert from 3 on and active by 3:30. This can of course change from bird to bird.

Ingleside - possible juvenile male. This is an individual I've had my sights on for a couple of weeks now but without success. Tracked it down today.

Ingleside - this is the same bird that I had 10 km further west a couple of days ago but with nice late day lighting. It found a new hangout.

Shortly after spotting a Merlin, this Snowy Owl glided over and may have attempted to take the prey of the Merlin which was down on the ground in the field. Seen near Saint Clet, Quebec.
