Nina, I love your shots of the Snowy Owl, both the close ups and the ones showing context. It's great to see these birds around, isn't it?

Description
The iconic Snowy Owl is such an amazing bird. Red-listed in 2017 from least concern to vulnerable. Humans do have a huge impact on the species and live owl baiting with store-bought mice for photography, farmers use of pesticide and collisions with vehicles are the greatest threat to this beautiful ghost of the north.
