Some owls tend to be more approachable than others…as was the case on a recent visit out-n-about.
Of coarse it’s a Snowy and by size and the very dark black markings I would say a juvenile female.

I’m no expert but I’m going with that.

After spending a short amount of time with her she began to move around a bit on the pole.
She seemed focused on something that I’ll assume was a possible meal ?

At this point it was easy to tell that she was about to take flight when she went into the crouched position.

I could go into a long winded story about how this came about…but.
This morning I’ll keep it short and to the point…Snowy Owl (male) along an old dirt road.

Finally some action…thanks to a large gravel truck that spooked this Snowy (male) of his perch.
As the truck slowed to make the turn is was enough to push the owl off in my direction…thanks Mr.Truck Driver.
