Picture of a beautiful Snowy Owl

I took this picture of a snowy owl yesterday and just had to share. We haven't had any snow this winter in this part of Kansas but for some reason or other, these little birds are all around this city.

It was featured on the news the other day about the snowy owls showing up much further south than their regular range. It is probably due to a sudden decrease in food and an over population of owls in the arctic. The younger owls are looking for food and territory. We have had them appear here in Washinton too but I haven't seen one yet (but definitely looking). Great picture.

Sweet! We had an owl land on our grandson's swing set and by the time we grabbed the camera, he flew away.
Great picture!!!

I would love to see one of these raptors in the wild. I love birds of prey. I see lots of hawks here and I know we have some owls cause I see the feathers . I only heard of snowy owls around here once . It made a nest in an old barn. Beople drove form miles around to try to get a glimpse of it according to the local paper.

NUTMEG10 01-17-2012 04:42 AM

Oh what a beautiful owl. I love them, barn owls are my favorite.

How beautiful! I have 9 pairs of cardinals feeding regularly at my birdfeeders. If I forget to fill the feeders, they sit looking at the kitchen window. The tree looks like a Christmas tree with red lights on it.

wildyard 01-17-2012 08:35 PM

I have owls but never such a beauty as this fine fellow! Don't tell my owls I said that. Shhhh.....

marthe brault-hunt 01-17-2012 10:23 PM

I have never seen one. We only have robins, 1cardinal and his mate, and a few blue jays. Thank you for sharing this picture.

JanieH 01-18-2012 02:26 PM

Beautiful photograph! I wish we had them here in the Houston, TX, area!

Of course the owls could be looking for Harry Potter and Hogwarts!

rosiewell 01-18-2012 04:42 PM

it looks like Harry Potter's owl!

marymm 01-18-2012 05:02 PM

Beautiful bird. I've photographed all sorts of birds, but the only owls I've been able to get were parts of shows. Not the same!

caspharm 01-18-2012 05:17 PM

Great picture. Thanks for sharing.

owlvamp 01-18-2012 08:00 PM

Beautiful picture of the owl. Love it!

moonwork42029 01-18-2012 08:09 PM

I'd love for him to show up at my house...the squirrels might not be too happy but at least they'd slow down eating the bird seed :)
