Avian Image of the Week Grace Scalzo for the week ending Mar. 16th, 2012 - Snowy Owl

Congratulations Grace!!!

This might be my favorite image of this wonderful bird that graced our beach this past winter. He was absolutely stunning, extremely cooperative and highly harrassed as a result of his celebrity. I got to spend one delightful afternoon with him and only a couple other people and to make matters even better, the light was nice and he was resting in an uncluttered spot.

Thank you for looking. I plan to make a print of this for my office so any comments before I do will be appreciated.

Oh my gosh! What an honor, and surprise. You are all so kind with your generous comments and I do thank you. In this case, all credit goes to the owl who chose this sweet spot to hang out for a bit. :S3:
