The crow wished everything was black, the owl, that everything was white.

Those of you that know me probably know I had to look up the name of Harry Potter’s pet Snowy Owl, just to be sure I used it correctly in the title. Oh well, at least I am trying to fit in…

The following images are highly cropped ones from my 500mm lens and 1.4x teleconverter on my Canon 7D. So, just to be clear, I was not as close as these photos make it appear. As I said in yesterday’s post, I was lucky enough to spend well over an hour alone with a Snowy Owl at Cape Hatteras this week. A true privilege. Which face do you like best?

Look to the right

Now look to the left

What the heck is that?

Those eyes…

What eyes?

You would look this way too if you had to clean your feet with your mouth
