I love the look of #1. Very nice photos, I don't believe we get these guys around here in Dayton, OH.

there have been snowys reported in the last few days in northern ohio, so maybe not in Dayton....but within a few hours drive!

Unfortunately it is a solid 3 hour drive from here to Lake Erie.

Hell, I'd just like to see one of these guys in the wild, never mind getting such great friggin' images!!

There were some reported from Boundary Bay around Delta last year and also around Tsawwasen. I believe that I also saw reports of one in downtown Victoria a couple of years ago. Not sure if you have any on the Island this year, but maybe if you check with some of the birders, they might know. HTH.

I was in Kennebunk last July and snagged a few shots of a Snowy Owl.. But they weren't as good as yours...

Wow that's pretty late for them to still be around New England! And thank you

Thanks! I'll be heading down a little further south next trip I make looking for snowys, getting a little sick of the scene up near me. Sure I'll find the owls, but I'll be joined by 50 other photographers....

There were only two other photographers for the Hampton Beach bird last Wednesday. I couldn't really get close enough with my 300mm because it was up in the off-limits dunes but at least it wasn't like the circus at Rye Harbor. I'm waiting for the day that tour buses start showing up for the Rye bird...
