Snow Owl
« on: January 23, 2010, 04:22:25 PM »
Don't know what this guy is doing here....there is no snow!  Looks like he was injured, as there appears to be blood between his eyes.  There was a raven that was dive-bombing him......wonder if that's where the injury came from?

Poor guy looks like he has a black eye.  Owls are some great looking birds.

       Wow, thanks for posting your pics of the Snowy Owl, they are a pretty rare bird down in these parts of the woods, must be a shortage of Lemmings up north. Beautiful bird I hope he's not to seriously hurt. :(
