You are welcome Mark glad I could help! I'll keep in touch and let you know about next years activity if you decide you'd like to come back up.

I am in Southern Ontario, in Canada. This past winter we had a few snowies around but last year we had an irruption of owls which brought many amazing birds to our area. They sat around in fields, on posts and fences. The males are amazing and have very little black on them.

Awesome impressions! Thanks for this magnificent experience, Mark!

Who out there are old enough to remember Marlin Perkin's narrating Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom series from way back when? Mark's voice and narrating style sure reminds me of that!

Great video, Mark! I love the way you review your process like a storyboard and explain all the details ( setting up for the bird to take flight, thinking about adjusting your shutter speed, etc.). It all came together nicely.

Really enjoyed your description of your experience and an amazing series of photos. We're blessed up here in Canada to be able to see them fairly frequently in the winter. I'll never forget seeing my first snowy owl in Calgary late at night. It flew across a well-lit intersection that I could see from my window. Unforgettable memory.Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed your video as always, Mark! I especially appreciated your comment about your shutter speed being set too low as the female owl flew over your head - and missing the opportunity for a tack sharp shot, but knowing that you had an experience you will never forget. I often feel that conflict in myself, and work really hard to prioritize my experience above all (though I’m not a pro photographer!). Sharing your thoughts and experience, and your comments on animal behavior and biology add a dimension and tremendous value to your already amazing photography.

I got Snowy Owl as my second ever owl. Saw at least 5 in Stratford, Connecticut on several different outings, so you know it's an irruption year! Glad you got a chance to photo these guys. I have a cell phone pic of two sitting a few feet apart on a pier. Watching from Arizona after finishing up my last birding day here, got 60 lifers! Congrats on 10k, and let's hope for 10k more!
