Clive Bryson's photos of Snowy Owls - January 2012

"On the Boundary Bay Dyke at the foot of 72^nd St. which is the road that leads to the Boundary Bay Airport, June & I counted about 30 Snowy Owls, although not all together. . They were for the most part inactive and flew mostly when the light levels were quite poor - like early morning or late afternoon. There were dozens of photographers, not all of whom were respecting the space of the owls. I stayed my distance as they are easily stressed. A number of the birds have died, both in the wild and in the “OWL” rehab center." <Click on a picture to enlarge it>
