Details: juvenile

St. Isidore - apparently this bird is a regular at this roadside stop. On this day I could see one of its associates atop another Petro Canada sign at the same station.

Details: female, juvenile

St. Rose - In my ongoing hunt for variety in Snowy Owl shots I came across this very dark juvenile female atop a fencepost. I rarely see birds at that level and the fact that she was cooperative enabled me to approach reasonably close without flushing. I used the car as a blind.

St. Isidore - I thought I'd include a novelty shot. First time I've had a good look at a Snowy Owl's tongue.

St. Isidore - Great photo op with this bird. Using the car as a blind I crept up on it for a decent shot. Best Rough-leg yet for me.

Details: male, adult

St. Isidore - I got lucky. About one bird in 40 is an older adult male. I waited for 75 minutes for this bird to do something besides sit atop an ugly power pole with its eyes closed. It began hunting and moved to a better perch, with its eyes open.
