Great lighthouse Denise---I shot several of them when I was in North Carolina this summer, but none of the photos were really worth posting---This is a very nice one you grabbed. Nice job

Here are a few night shots from around town with all the Christmas lights....
Thanks for viewing...Brant
Jonathan posted some Snow Owl shots the other day, which got me excited enough to go out to look for my own this morning. Turned out to be a good morning.
I went looking to get some Eagle shots yesterday, but got skunked. Today I went to find Snow Owls, and ended up finding an eagle as well.
The light was not the greatest, and I kept goofing up the exposure; but these turned out half way good.
Not the best perch with the owl:
The Eagle still has blood on its beak... so I guess I came up on him just after breakfast.

@Pat, those snow owls are cute as. And the eagle, well... majestic. Nice.

All that eagle needs is an American Flag floating behind it and you'd have one cliche image. Great shot.
That is a successful drive. Nice pictures Pat. I especially like the snowy.
Beautiful shots, Pat! I have yet to find a snowy owl in my travels and would be so thrilled to come across one!!
@ Pat, A snowy owl is definitely something I'd like to add to my collection. Nice capture. I should learn about their habitat. The eagle shot gets me excited. Can't wait for the Mississip to freeze over.
Thank you all for your kind words.
Denise - A few posts back, Johnathan Huyer provided a link that people use to report sightings. If you zoom in on the map and then click on the map markers (red ones are the recent signtings), then the location and date of the sighting pops up. For example, in Kenosha there was a sighting on Dec 4th at the Southport Marina (I think they like to hang out where ducks and seaguls are).
Here is the link: http://ebird.org/ebird/map/snoowl1?b...=2007&eyr=2011
Hope that helps... and thank you Johnathan.
