Flying with Snowy Owls
I have been able to spend a couple of evenings with the two Snowy Owls since my first encounter with them near the Springbank Airport just before New Year’s. These are a few of the images that have stood out from the growing collection. I absolutely love watching these birds and with more time I’m learning some of their habits and behaviours.

The images below are from a drive I made east of Calgary on the weekend. I had good luck finding Snowies around Langdon and Gleichen last year and the success continued when I spotted this beautiful owl flying around one of the fields.

Tremendous series. I have passed links to this post and the Hawk post on to family & friends. 🙂

Wonderful shots! Their eyes are beautiful and they look like they’re always smiling.

Absolutely wonderful images. I have not had any luck finding them this year.

They are all stunning! My favorites are the first and second image…..how the light highlights those magnificent wings. The first photo is also the only one that shows the owl’s feet clearly — they look like big rabbit feet!!! This is probably as close as I’ll get in my life to a Snowy Owl…..thanks for taking me there.
