Thank you for sharing such beautiful photos๐๐
"Early One Morning"
So, early one morning while out looking for snowy owls in Canada, we checked out a spot that had a snowy owl sitting on a post an entire afternoon the day before. Sure enough, the next morning she was still there but this time we had some color in the sky as the sun started to peek out from behind the clouds. It turned out to be a good decision to go to this location since within eyesight we had about a dozen different birds to choose from, all with different elements in the frame.

"Winters Sentinel"
One of my favorite images from being out on assignment recently. I found this snowy owl just sitting on this unique fence and looking like it was guarding it's hunting meadow from any other raptors in the area.
"The Moment"
This was the moment we had waited for the better part of an hour. With this beautiful snowy owl perched in terrific spot and with blue hour setting in, she finally decided to take off and hunt. Time was running out, both with the light and the ferry leaving very shortly, I'm glad she decided to entertain us. It was moment I won't soon forget!

"Contact"
As a wildlife photographer I am always seeking for the perfect image. To get that, you must have some sort of catch light present in the eye. Well, as the sun came up from the east and this beautiful snowy owl was looking that way, the light hit just right and contact was made. It just makes the photo that much more intimate with the audience. This is not a perfect image by any means, especially with some distracting brush in the frame but it's a keeper for me. Hope you like it.

"The Rock"
A harlequin drake duck sits atop a rock along the jetty at the Barnegat Lighthouse in LBI, New Jersey. If you head there to see these awesome ducks please be careful on the jetty rocks. They are treacherously slippery and I myself take no chances here, especially with expensive gear.

"The Queen of Sheba"
Ever since this bird appeared on the morning of 12/9/17 I've been infatuated with her. She came in the middle of the night and when I got to the beach I spotted her from the parking lot on a post pertruding high above the dunes. At first I thought it was a seagull because , as you know, seagulls are very large. Then, looking through binoculars, I could tell it was a snowy and a big one at that. It's the largest snowy I've ever seen by far.
She only stayed a couple of days and then disappeared only to return this past weekend. Where did she go for those 5 weeks? I don't know but I'm sure glad to have her back. She's so photogenic that I continued to go back there Sunday and Monday too with success on finding her. My favorite snowy owl by far. For now, until I can come up with a better name, I'm going to call her "The Queen of Sheba"
