Snowy owl

[arash_hazeghi]

Here's another snowy owl photo from WA trip with Doug Brown and Don Nelson. This file was on one of the CF cards that got lost during my first visit and miraculously found and returned to me by a really nice photographer. The SandDisk extreme cards survived more than a month of rain and low temperatures as I was using a fabric CF card holder at the time (don't ask why!). Now I have a water-proof florescent rugged case


Hope you like the image

Is this Owl cross eyed by chance ? Lovely shot Arash, beautifully perched, I'm still amazed and envious so many over the " big pond " see Owls during daylight hours

Thanks, I could be wrong but I don't think a snowy owl can be cross eyed. This owl's eyes were healthy and normal

It would have been a real shame had you lost shots like this one. stunning in every way. the grasses at the bottom add a ton, IMO.
