A Snowy Owl hunting on February 12, 2025 (during my 6th week of eight) of Snowy Owl Workshops. This beauty gave us quite a show, and it quickly caught three wild and free meadow voles after the freezing rain and snow stopped. The action was close, and she flew towards us, thrilling the whole group. I love the different background and composition.

Kudos and an image from Roger Trentham Nature Photography

I have recently returned from a visit to Southern Canada seeking snowy owls. We were fortunate to be lead by Christopher Dodds Nature Photographer, who knows snowy owls, their behaviors and locations intimately. We encountered owls in snow, rain and clear sunny skies. Photographing snowy owls in a snow covered landscape has been on my bucket list for some time. Thanks to Chris this item has come true but once was not enough and I hope to visit the owls again.

p.s. That small black spot in the owl's talons is a vole that it just snatched from the ground and quickly made it lunch. - Roger Trentham | Tenessee | USA
