Snowy Owl in the Dunes

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I photographed this owl in pretty low light. If you look closely, you can see that there is blood on the right talon, I guess the food situation is good there.

Very nice, I love the white owl on the sand almost looks like snow.

Nice capture. The eyes are captivating and draws you right in.
At first, I thought the owl was sitting on snow until I looked more closely and realized it was sand. Where was this taken?

Thanks, Lori! I photographed the owl on Long Island.
