2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Snowy Owl, Calgary Alberta, Canada
Snowy Owl take off

Species: Snowy Owl | Location: Calgary Alberta, Canada

I had seen a large female snowy owl off in the distance, and thought if I stay put she may come a little closer. After waiting more than half an hour at -37Cel. the cold was setting in.

She flew in, and with all the long anticipation, I moved. She quickly flew off, but not before I took her picture. What a beautiful bird.
