I went to Long Island this morning and met quite a few photographers on the beach. Very early this bird let us photograph him for a while. He was quite skittish, though.

You guys certainly have a wonderful place to photograph the Snowy Owls......with plenty of interesting and unique habitat. Lovely image.....and oh those yellow eyes. Excellent setting. I may have to hate you for this one. Well done.
Heard there as quite the crowd... NYS Parks may want to start charging admission :)
Axel I am so jealous! I love owls and this one is certainly a fine example. Love the eye contact and the little bit of surrounds in front.
Another nice Snowy. Axel. The grasses add much interest.
Axel I love the eye contact and the grass. This owl must be being photographed as much as the snowys were here last winter.
Drop dead gorgeous! I love the intensity of the eye contact.
Nice capture with lovely light Axel, the eyes are stunning, not fussy for the grasses though.
I want to come!!!
Hey - if you guys plan anymore trips I would love to come from the city and join in. I doubt I could do any better than the beautiful shots I have seen lately!
Cheers,

I'm sure that you could find other photographers there almost on a daily basis. It's a pretty safe guess that most people running around with long lenses look for the owls. :)Originally Posted by sallie perraglia
One of the best compositions I have seen. Excellent job.
Gorgeous!!! I usually prefer an unobstructed subject, but in this case the tussock in front of the bird works really well, perhaps due to the shared tones with the owl's chevrons.
