After spending a number of winter days driving around the Alberta prairies, I finally managed to finally track down a female snowy owl near Mossleigh. She was sitting atop a telephone pole.
A few more photos of another snowy owl, also in the Mossleigh area….

Thank you all for the kind comments, it takes a lot of luck to get these and I just happened to be at the right place. Thanks again!
Beautiful photographs! And I give you kudos for your determination in tracking these rather elusive birds down and getting them to pose for you.
WOW! Well done! The photo of the owl flying is pure poetry!
For me, the most startling image is the owl in flight. I’ve only ever seen owls perched and looking like, well, our image of owls. In flight, what a difference!
Thanks!
