It’s unclear to me just how I’ve missed noticing a Bald Eagles nest near a road I frequently travel…by the size and location I should have seen this nest long before.
Hopefully this Eagles mate will return and they’ll use that Big Old Nest…time will tell.
Hopefully there will be some new subjects to capture before long…but in the meantime I’m still sifting through the hard-drive and remembering days spent with Snowy Owls.
There is always a number of things that come into play when searching for the Great White Owls from the North. Knowing the area and planning the direction of travel so you have the sun at your back and not backlit/facing the sun. Wind speed and direction is something you have no control over…light to moderate winds are best. Wind directions can also determine which direction they will be facing…they tend to perch facing into the wind.
When everything falls into place and the Stars Align you can only hope there is no operator error and there will be rewards to download at the end of the day.
Cheers !

I had a front row seat and reminded me of being at a Circus…this Snowy appears to be getting ready to do its high wire tight rope act.
No safety net…only a ditch full of snow if he fell.
