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

[Daniel Cadieux]

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.
