I was out owlin’ a bit more this afternoon. It got all Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom out there; the only thing missing was Marlin Perkins. Remember him? I loved that show as a kid.
Live mice on the scene this afternoon. The snowy owl was all over the first one released; I barely had a chance to raise up my camera and focus. They are fast fast fast.
Num num num num num. Gulp.
Ah…happy tummy.
They are graceful and swift flyers. What beautiful creatures they are. I feel very fortunate to have not only been in their presence, but also capture them.
What beautiful images! where are these..city/state?
Thank you. By Vermilion, Mn
They are indeed among the most graceful of birds in flight, and perfectly silent. I especially like 8392. Just beautiful.
Thank you. Silent and quick! Blink and you’ve missed something.
Wow, very cool to capture these beautiful birds! Congratulations!
beautiful photos Dan, would love to see one of these beautiful creatures
Coming from Omaha, the home of Wild Kingdom I totally get it. Wow, you got some beautiful captures of this gorgeous bird! Can’t even tell you how jealous I am! BTW, did you know that Wild Kingdom is back on the Discovery Channel I believe (minus Merlin).
I do miss Discover Channel. We gave up normal TV over two years ago. We watch a show or two through Netflix or Amazon Prime. TV is a time-sucker to say the least. Doing this affords more time for photo-related things.
WOW – Loving your captures – love watching and capturing birds in action too!!!
I can sense your excitement in your words and see it in your spectacular images. I am a bit skittish seeing those mouse pix (I detest mice), but certainly appreciate the snowy owl and the great shots you got.
It is very exciting. They make short work of a mouse. Quick and quite beautiful they most certainly are.
Stunning to have been able to photograph these owls in the wild. Super shots tool
It was a lot of fun.
