The Snowy Owl is typically found in the northern circumpolar region, where it makes its summer home north of latitude 60 degrees north. However, it is a particularly nomadic bird, and because population fluctuations in its prey species can force it to relocate, it has been known to breed at more southerly latitudes. Took this not too far from my house in Kanata, Ont, Canada with Canon 40D and 300 2.8 lens

Hello and Welcome
I’m an amateur photographer and pretty new to wildlife photography. I found my calling with wildlife, mainly birds and whitetail deer as they are plentiful in this region. I find great satisfaction photographing birds and mammals and of course coming upon anything out of the ordinary.
I hope you enjoy your visit.
Jim
