Male snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) atop a barn roof
There's no surprise how this guy got his name, is there? He's as white as snow. He's currently visiting a central Ontario field for the winter and in the spring will return to the Arctic to raise a family.
Snowy owl about to take off
He allowed me to get quite close before flapping his wings to take off for another roof close by.
I am joining Stewart M's Wild Bird Wednesday HERE

Two great photos Camera Girl. I'm still waiting to to see an owl in my neighbourhood. I know there here, I just can't find them.
A magnificent bird for sure. Great captures!
Have never seen an owl in the wild; I must be doing something wrong! This is an amazing looking animal. In a way, he reminds me of my grandfather.
These are gorgeous photos!
Wow! I guess there's no chance that I'll ever see one of these here in Texas! That beautiful blue sky is not much of a camouflage for him.
Oh my, isn't he so striking? What a wonderful capture!
Girl...I'm so envious, it's a dream for me to see and take a picture of a owl, and this one...wow he is absolutely gorgeous!
Lucky you! And Congratulations for these wonderful pictures!

he is fantastic, so are the photos, the second one he looks like he is made out of satin... so beautiful
Wow! These are really beautiful photos. He is so white against the blue sky. I've never seen one here.
I am so jealous! It must have been thrilling to get close enough to take these amazing pictures. I have never seen a snowy owl.
Such clear and close photo's. It must be thrilling to see this magnificant bird in person.

Wow, great captures of this lovely owl. He really stands out against the blue sky. I've never seen one of these.
absolutely awesome! this one really is almost pure white!
Oh my! I would have loved to have been there and seen that. Nice shot.
What fabulous shots against that sky! This is the only type of owl I have seen in the wild - one very cold winter and he was right in the middle of the city in a park!
Absolutely fabulous!
Those birds are stunning to see.

it looks like white silk. So beautiful. You are lucky to have it near. Coudl you please ask it to come my way?
Wow! What an absolute beauty!
These are marvelous photos of the owl against that brilliant blue sky. I especially like your second photo.
He's stunning!
I love owls—they remind me of my grandma, who collected them. :)
Have a great day!
Wow!! Those are incredible captures!!
There were quite a few that flew through Nebraska in fall and were killed by traffic, etc... Not sure how they got down this far south.
Magnificent bird.
So beautiful owl! Nicely photographed!
Greetings Pia
I do think that is one of the most magnificent birds. So glad he posed for you!
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful bird.
Gorgeous!
Great shots of a magnificent bird! Love the contrast with the blue sky.
He certainly would disappear against the snow in the background. Gorgeous shots.
Wow! I think I'd pay good money to see that bird!!
And what great pictures - the exposure must be a nightmare.
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.
