Snowy ala flight!

[Catmendo]

I really lucked out this afternoon when I spotted this young feamle snowy pearched high up on a highway light standard. I pull up almost directly under her position and started firing away.

At first she didn't seem to mind my presence, in fact she seemed to careless that I was sitting so close to her position.

After several moments slipped by, she eventually tired of the sound of my Canon be fired and decided to take to flight. As she swooped down along the ground, I managed to get some interesting results, my best to date!

Oh, nice!! I'm surprised how set in his eyes are. Warmth? It shows up on the flight pictures, too. Lucky you! Gorgeous pictures, gorgeous bird.
