Helpful Posts: This is the first Snowy Owl that we have ever seen. It was sitting on top of an apartment building in Belmar, NJ by the inlet from the ocean.

Re: Snowy Owl
Nice capture Steve. What are snowy owls doing in New Jersey? I live in Collingswood and I've seen a couple in Knights Park. Does this mean we are in for a long cold winter??

Re: Snowy Owl
Beautiful bird Steve. I would love an opportunity to capture images of one, most likely not much of a chance in Florida.

Re: Snowy Owl
Travis - I don't know what they are doing around here this year. I have never seen one before. There are 3 hanging out in the Edwin Forsythe WMA in Absecon and I read where there were 10 spotted the other day on the lower end of LBI.
Joe - Thanks for the comments. I would have liked to catch him in a more natural environment but I am not complaining.

Re: Snowy Owl
Nice - and unusual contrast within the subject matter: an exotic wildfowl and roof vents. Good eye. And what, by the way. is the unusual gangly doodad overtopping everything?

Re: Snowy Owl
Mark - I believe that it is actually to keep birds off of whatever they are covering. I saw a lot of this these the last time in NYC. Thanks for the comments.

Re: Snowy Owl
SDteve,
Nice capture; how about getting a bird-only crop?

Re: Snowy Owl
Sounds like quite a capture, and a good shot it is too.

Re: Snowy Owl 2013 invasion
Last year they said that the Snowy Owls were further south due to a collapse of their natural food source. However several have been spotted this year already, perhaps indicating that this will be a big year also. I've seen several photos from the Middle of the US (Missouri)
