Snowy Owl going for it’s Prey on the Milwaukee Lakefront on December 26, 2017

By | | ,

I watched this perched Snowy Owl for a couple of short minutes this morning on the Milwaukee lakefront. Then it’s head went up and looked to the north as if it had heard something. A moment later it took to the air and headed north out of sight. It was a cold morning with temps around -5 F and very little wind, the sun made it feel not too bad. Here are a couple flight shots as it left the area. Images were taken on December 26, 2017.

Just smooth sailing for this Snowy Owl…
