Spent sunrise to sunset yesterday along The NH/MA seacoast with one goal in mind- finding some snowys. I actually saw one within 5 minutes, but the light was just...meh. I ended up seeing 3 throughout the day, but got to spend a few hours over the afternoon photographing this one. The best part was there was nobody else around, and once the owl got used to me (I was still pretty far away, but the ones I've seen are very skittish), I was able to grab some photos of it more relaxed, preening, and just looking around for food. Of the few hundred photos, this one was one my favorites.
The dunes it was hanging around in is blocked off, and is marked conservation area. There were still a lot of footprints and worse, tripod holes, around the dunes. I'm already seeing evidence of unethical behavior with these owls, and it's just the start of winter. I had a lot of people ask me on FB and Instagram where I saw this one, and get mad when I wouldn't tell them....
