A male Snowy atop a hydro pole allowed me to approach quite close today. I was set up in servo AF in anticipation of a BIF opportunity that never materialized...

I like them all Cam. The wire isn't the greatest perch but I would be ecstatic to even see such a bird. That is a really nice looking snowy with a lot of pure white plumage.

Thanks Geoff. So far this winter every Snowy I've encountered was perched on a pole or a light fixture. I fantasize about finding one at ground level but no luck so far.

Nice captures. Hopefully you get a next time with a better perch. I hope to see more.

Nice whites, beautiful bird. Too bad about the environment. Here's to hoping you get better surroundings.

He was a beauty for sure and the second biggest I've encountered this winter. Thank you Don.

Thank you Rex. I'd love to find one elsewhere but I take what I can get. I'm thinking of a custom bumper sticker: I Brake For Snowies!

yes great opportunity! Nice shot and great you could get so close.
I'd photograph that on top of a McDonald's sign!
