Especially like that second photo, Jim, but they are all so splendid!
Thanks for sharing them.
Jim – you somehow manage to capture the many graceful angles of this beautiful dancer swirling over the snowy field. The profile shots are so unusual too. This bird has such an expressive face – especially when his wings are folded up and he suddenly becomes small and vulnerable on the frozen ground. Why isn’t the airport shut down – why doesn’t the whole town come to see their wild and mystical visitor?
Amazing and beautiful photos! Sad that the Owl seemed not to catch prey however for all its efforts! Hope it eventually scored!
What persistence! What an eye for finding the owl even when it’s making itself invisible! How good of you to share these with everyone!
Always a pleasure to see the world thru your eyes. Thanx!
Thanks Jim Your The best.
