Really enjoyed this video on the beautiful owls with the light touch of piano music accompanying the quiet falling snow. And learned a new word,"fleuff"!

Words can't adequately describe the beauty you captured, Mark. Your photos and videos inspire us all. Thank you.

This was awesome. That last shot of the sunset and the snow softly reflecting the light. Just perfect.

Truly mesmerizing Mark !!! Capturing these owls on film is a treat for all that you share it with. Thank you so much !!!!

The video of the owl in the gently falling snow (at about 3:17) is the first time I have appreciated video more than a still photograph. Just lovely.

Ok Mark. You’re gonna have to start a “Robert win a Sony a1 and 200-600 Contest” immediately. Weather’s turning in Mt. Shasta. Bet you can find some good birding here ! 🤭🐿🌈

Absolutely awesome Mark!

Soo amazing! Such a pleasure to watch with your narration. The yellow eyes of the owls are popping so nicely, almost hypnotising!

Hi Mark, what awesome captures, and the movement of the snow is absolutely gorgeous through your lens 😍 Owls are beautiful. Great Eyes and floofy bodies indeed!

Wonderful video, Mark. I appreciate the care you take in creating the narratives for your videos. FYI, I believe the tree you mention at about 6:10 is a spruce, not a pine.

@@MarkSmithphotography we were recently on Amherst Island and saw a group of 5 of these magnificent owls working the fields there! Also presently of rough-legged hawks, Harriers and other raptors and owls.

never disappoints! ... your stunning images inspire us all . thanks Mark for sharing .

I drove up to Canada a few years back and was welcomed with -13F temps and a foot of snow, the windchill was -25F and I was out looking for snowy owls and I found one. After ten to fifteen minutes I was shaking so much no matter how much IS or IBIS I wasn't getting any keepers. It was still a fun trip to see these amazing birds out in those conditions like it was nothing.

WOW! Great stuff! No further comment necessary.

great as usual, living hear in Ontario we do get the weather ,and the owls, will be in your neck of the woods in a week for a month photographing shorebirds .it will be as good as here I'm sure , top notch video as usual thanks.

Amazing. I could not take my eyes off those gorgeous shots. I’m so jelly but thankful you had the opportunity and shared it with us. Thanks Mark

Amazing, that's all I can say Mark.

This is insane, it almost looks like an animation, unreal. I remember seeing you at Conowingo saying to myself, I gotta get to Florida, now I gotta get to Canada 😂. You’re definitely gifted ✌️

Than you Mark.A wonderful start to my day. I love seeing [and hearing] the world through your eyes/camera / sense of humour. A joy to wake up to owls and snow in Oz! And I too look forward to a book [boobook book] of the favourite birds. No pressure -----

What an awesome trip that was for you. Thanks for sharing.

They are such beautiful birds and I have yet to see one in real life!!! I am trying though and one day I will accomplish my goal. The lockdowns made me develop an interest in birds and wildlife photography. Before that I’d never consider photographing wildlife. It is so fulfilling learning about animals that surround us and sometimes we have no idea of their existence!!!

Beautiful footage with the snow falling!

Great stuff. Your storytelling always amazes and memorizes me.

Now you're just showing off here Mark - effortlessly transferring your southern skills into an alien northern environment. Some amazingly detailed and colourful shots, particularly those with a darker background. And, as an ancient Brit, you've taught me a new word - floof. That's a first for me ;-)

Amazing photography!

C'est géniale. Merci pour tout c'est belle photos...

Nice to see that you were able to capture short eared owls, they still elude me. Also nice to see a familiar face of a good friend and photographer smack in the centre of your second photo. Len is a great photographer and I have been out with him photographing owls many times. Glad you enjoyed our province and country.

Mark, you no doubt know, but many people don't, that an owl's eyes do not move the way a human's eyes do - they are basically fixed, which is why owls can, and do move their heads seemingly 360 degrees. Their "head bobbing & tilting" behavior helps them get a 3D sense of what they are looking at. (I'm not sure if that is true for every type of owl.) From a Canadian who very much appreciates your amazing photography. Thanks for sharing!

🤗💜 yes!!! Thank you!!!😍

Hi Mark, as always another awesome video. The photos and videos are the owls are so beautiful. Looking forward to your next video.

Stunning video Mark!

Super shooting :-) :-)

Awesome pictures! The perched picture at 2:50 is my favorite
