I have gotten so I can find Snowy Owls easy enough, but it is difficult to find them on a decent perch. There preferred perch seems to be power poles. So it was nice yesterday to find this one on top of a dead limb. Even at 560 mm, it was cropped fairly heavily. I should have dropped the ISO a little also (live and learn).
