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).

the birds in florida are very camera friendly. 200mm was actually to much for this one , had to back it down to 150mm

They truly are tolerant of people more than anywhere I've been....makes it fun
It's bitterly cold here too and the small birds are flocking to the feeders....I took these on my lunch break today.
