This was my third visit to Assateague to try and spot the famous visiting Snowy Owls. After walking the beach for an hour and a half I decided I better head back. I came off the beach and walked along the campsites ( they are closed for the winter). I was still on the lookout but thought it was going to be another visit with no snowy and all of the sudden I SEE HIM or at least I think I do. Grabbing my camera and zooming the lens to 500mm ( the reach is a little better since it's a crop sensor camera) YES IT'S HIM !!!! I snap one shot and off he goes. I believe he was hunting and had found something. I never found him and this photo is a little craptastic but I just had to share. He was sitting on top of one of the camp bathhouses. It was a bucket list kind of day :-)
coolio! there's a church near one of our subway stations. and one day i saw that there were 2 owls on the roof which were rather still. i couldn't recall if they were there before as a decoration and i probably just never paid attention. i took a few shots but they were crappy so i couldn't ascertain. last week i went by there and there were no owls on the roof. i asked one of the ladies who conducts meetings at the church and she said that a pair visit the church once a year. so there, they were real owls i just screwed up with photographing them.
