Snowy Owl Out of the Woods

This snowy owl was photographed during my Winter Snowy Owl Workshop. A warm front caused a light fog, lowering the contrast and softening the background. This Snowy Owl seemed to love perching on the edge of the forest, unlike most, who prefer the wide open spaces of farm fields during the winter, much like at their nesting grounds on the tundra much further North in the summer.
