I think this snowy owl thought that we could not see it as it seemed to ignore everything that was going on in front of it. The owl was photographed yesterday at a lovely moment when the sun came out yet we had dark clouds in the background.

Would you see this owl if you were walking down the beach? Marcello did!

I like the way the grass captures the movement of the wind, contrasted by the still bird.
Nice job Morris,

Mark

Very cool shot. The owl looks like it is keeping a close eye on you Morris. I like the way it is looking through the grass. I'm thinking about taking a few days to head north and try to find my first Snowy soon so this shot gives me some practice finding them in the brush

What a hidden gem this owl turned out to be. And after about 7 hours I needed to stop walking and start shooting!

Nice shot Morris. These guys don't tend to hide, based on my experience. They just seem to perch where they do for random reasons.

I like this hiding owl image, I might have framed the owl a little lower/slightly right and capture the top of the foliage. Plenty of room on the bottom. Perhaps you've got it if this is cropped. Might not work but this is nice, thanks for sharing.

Interesting Morris, I have never seen one of these guys hiding before, I wonder what it's doing in there?

I like the shot, the textures, colors and the dynamics of the flowing grass make for a very different presentation of this guy. Just out of curiosity, do you have one with a lot of room on the right so you could make a pano crop with the bird on the left and the grass flowing all to the right?

Beautiful capture Morris,

He was hiding from the strong winds but I found him just in time, I was close to give up my search.

This is a wonderful image for me Morris. I like the grass bent by the wind, beautiful light, and your composition is well executed.
Very nice work.

I definitely would have missed the owl, but the bearded ninja misses nothing!

Another beauty, Morris! If they are there I'm sure the troika will find them.
