Snowy Owl

Emil Baumbach

I couldn’t resist going to Montrose to see two Snowy Owls on the beach. Since this immature bird was closest to me, I focused on him. He stayed put for about five minutes then abruptly flew out to the end of fish hook pier where the other bird had also moved too. There were many photographers around and even though all stayed at a safe distance I felt the birds were not comfortable with the attention.
