p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Snowy owl on beach with famous background


This photo will be as close as I come to revealing the location of this stunning snowy owl. The water tower is perfectly level, the beach slopes down to the Atlantic on the right of the image.

D200 + 80-400 VR + 1.4x TC @ 322mm, ISO 800, 1/125, f5.6, fill flash (SB910)

If the photo reveals the location to you, please don’t add the location to the thread. If you PM me, I will confirm if you are correct.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

That looks like the same sand hill that Eric's shot showed. Did he sit there all day posing for you guys! I hope you get a bright day with this one! Don

Nice shot Morris...I'm still really surprised they've come down this far, never got to see one there in all my years.

Great shot Morris. Too far away for me

Scott, keep an eye out for the snowy owls to possibly arrive again in Boundary Bay in Vancouver BC. Then you could easily make a little road trip up to photograph them. I'm planning to fly down as soon as I hear they have arrived....that is if they do arrive as they don't always show up every year. They have for the past 2 years.

Nice shot Morris. Beautiful bird in a strange (to me) landscape for an owl. But, they seem to head to both coasts each year so there must be something there they enjoy.

Nice shot Morris. Why include a famous background if you are trying to keep the location low key

Nice job documenting this rare visitor to that metro area Morris. For my taste I would rather not see the man made stuff in the bg. Unless of course you were from the visitors bureau!

Wonderful image, Morris. The diminutive Snowy on a vast beach conveys the plight of the bird.

Usually they have them passing through around northern WA in second week of November. Seems this may not be such a good year. There has been at least 2 spotted on the Olympic Peninsula so far.

Well done......Morris!

I wish I could ID the location and go there tomorrow Morris but unfortunately I can't do the first and I'm guessing there is no way I can do the second
I'm content to enjoy your shot though

Morris;
That is a great shot. I especially like the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Oh crap. I let the cat out of the bag. Soon there'll hoards of French tourists trampling through the dunes with spotting scopes and cameras.

A very nice shot Morris. Eric posted the closeup, and you added the perspective shot. I am going to have to "out" you on the location though - I am pretty sure it's New York ~ Ron
