    I'm beginning to think Mark's narration is my favorite part of these video clips. He makes being outside on a cold morning sound like you are seeing something very special is taking place. This was another gem.

    I'm fortunate to live in an area where snowy owls congregate in the winter. I've gotten some wonderful photos of them this year. They are the only owls I've ever gotten photos of owls I've ever been able to photograph. I'm constantly on the lookout for them. Lots of hawks and eagles around here to keep me busy, and ospreys during the summer months. Loved this video. Thanks for sharing, as always!

I shoot at the exact place you went to for the shortys and I agree with you, the snowys are spectacular and a must have image of! but they can be a little “ dull” during the day (especially when they don’t cooperate and show off their beautiful yellow eyes 👀) but you seemed to have done pretty well for yourself👍🏻....& that’s why shortys are great owls 🦉 to shoot because they give us some chance of seeing them in the dusk light, hunting.....!

Had the chance to observe my first shortie in december and now all I do is wake up early to see owls. I live in QC Canada and these guys are pretty uncommon so I feel blessed to have found a few over the months. breathtaking to see these guys flying in the fields.
