Few poles down the road and a Snowy spotted…time to stop and evaluate just how to approach this owl.
Beyond this perched owl could be seen what seemed like a large hay bale tractor and trailer approaching.
There would be a 50-50% chance that it may fly in my direction…so there I sat patiently waiting.
Turned out to be a positive 50% chance…thank you Mr. Farmer.
For the most part in these neck of the woods Snowy Owls tend to use any one of the many Hydro poles as a perch. Pleasant surprise to find one in a tree along the roadway at the edge of a farm yard.
Sitting waiting for an extended amount of time for some flight action…but it wasn’t meant to be.
The owl decided to go off in the other direction rather than towards me…never the less a Tree Topper trumps a Pole Percher.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought to be lucky enough to once again come across a Bald Eagle on the ground. If you recall the first trip provided and adult…this time a juvenile.
Rest assured this Eagle appeared to be just fine and it’s still unclear to me just why It came in and landed where it did.
Never the less I took full advantage of what had occurred.
This up-close encounter last mere seconds and all that could be heard was the rapid bursts of the camera shutter…before it departed.
A case of the right place at the right time.
