Nature can be cruel…a recent article stated that here in Manitoba 17 Snowy Owls had been brought into a rehab suffering from starvation and other injuries…it’s possible the count could even be higher ?According to the story 15 of which had to be euthanized…I wonder how many others had not been found and given a chance ?

As in past years, there are good numbers of owls seen at the beginning of the season and then the count drops off.

They can still be found but it’s a hit-n-miss as where they will be located from day to day.

Nature will take it’s coarse and what will be will be…I’m hoping now that the ones I find are all healthy,strong and good hunters that will survive…like this all but pure white male.

Getting the look just after this Snowy enjoyed a morning meal…he wasn’t willing to share and soon departed back up onto a nearby perch.

Never tire of looking down a lens and making eye contact with such a beautiful bird.
