I have to agree with Joseph -- an absolute beauty. Great looking background, details, stare, and I'm the biggest sucker for OOF snow fall. Thanks for sharing this!

Amazing shot. I Love stare and clean back ground.
We also have a Great Gay Owl in Utah after 20 odd years. I saw the magnificent bird last weekend. I did not get any opportunity to take a decent image.
Congratulations.

Excellent quality and colors, perfect HA and BG. I have a couple like this one too, it's a classic! With DPP4 and 1DX you can easily crank up the ISO to 6400 if need be. enjoy your new camera

Issac lovely frame the BG, falling snow eye contact it's got it all!
I was up at my daughter in Troy NY this past weekend and seen a pair short eared owls hunting just off of 87 below Albany. Looks like that 1DX is working well have not got out with mine yet.

There are a bunch of Short ears in Orange County. Have loads of people lined up every day shooting them but I have never gone for them. All of the shots I have seen are fairly low quality as the birds are not so close so I just have passed on going. I would love to find some that are closer. I love this camera in every way. Really am glad that I took the plunge. Can't imagine going back to the 7d2 now as the image quality is just better, the low ISO performance way better, can crop much more and can lift the shadows with ease. Plus the frame rate and focusing is far superior. I have many flight shots of this owl where the 1dx easily held focus against the trees it was in front of. Eager to hear what you think of it.

Congratulations, Isaac. A beauty of a frame, and worth the trip (easy for me to say). Great frontal view, and the snow is a bonus. Definitely a bird on my bucket list, and I guess I'll never get him by sitting in New Jersey.

Super image Issac, on my bucket list. You have a winner here, good work in difficult conditions, you should be very proud of yourself wish it were mine!

Thanks everyone. The kind comments from so many of you that I really admire means a great deal to me. Very much appreciated.

Nice shot Isaac. Was this on Sunday? If so we were there at the same time. If that's the case though you must have snapped this just as it started snowing, because the snow got super heavy super fast.
-
Thanks. I was there on Saturday. It was snowing the whole time. Left Saturday as I did not want to be stuck driving back to New York City in a storm. No way I wanted to turn a 7 hour trip into double that!

Ok, I didn't realize there had been any snow on Saturday. I wouldn't have wanted to drive all the way to the city on Sunday either. I'm in the Albany area and it took 6 hours to get home, normally it's 4. I'm actually heading down to the city this weekend, but hoping to go back up to Massena the weekend after that if the owls are still hanging around.
