Thank you Cole!
Very nice series!
My email address is posted, email me if you have any questions. I sure do not have all the answers but most of the knowledge I have, I am gladly willing to share. I hope you are able to find a GHO. A Snowy, is a bit more of a challenge, as they only come for the winter months, and only some years. I wish you all the best in your attempts to find both.
Many thanks williefromwi. (I'm still waiting to get a GHO with the tips you provided. Or perhaps a Snowy Owl down by the dunes this winter...)
nice capture of your warbler. I suspect few people realize how difficult it is to make a good warbler capture. congrats on getting your shot.
Thank you ArgyBee and Lisa! She was a challenge - very camera shy but she flew to the bush about 6 feet away from me.
Nice to see the female of this species!
Nice shots EEaL.
