Snowy Owl staredownby *DeeOtter

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Birds

So I got the chance to see some snowy owls today.
Yay!

Have also learned that I do not like group birding. I like going either by myself or with one other person (helps with the bird finding...and to keep me from talking to said birds I find...).

Saw around 3 or 5 different owls at the beach. There's been a bit of a snowy owl explosion so quite a few people in the lower 48 have gotten the chance to see one. Overheard that New Mexico and Arizona are the only two states not to see snowy owls. No idea how accurate that is.

^{They are just randomly on the beach? I've only ever seen an owl once. I thought they were rare... That is pretty awesome.}

I think the population for snowy owls this year were pretty high, so the juveniles made their way further south in search of food.
These guys just happened to hang out at the coast.

^{That is very cool.}

Oh, wow, gorgeous shot. He's out a bit early isn't he?

Snowy owls are one of the few owls that hunt actively during the day. which makes them nice to spot any time so you don't have to get up at the crack of before dawn or wander outside with flashlights.
