• Story of the image

  This snowy owl landed in a most unusual location. The background is a large waterfall created from water overflow pipes following a severe, prolonged (3 days) rainstorm. The owl had been hanging around this ocean location for about a week and I was thrilled to find it on this rocky shelf with the waterfall behind her.

  I have been a bird photographer for 12 years . I became "hooked" on birds during a trip to Tanzania. I saw a lilac breasted roller and I fell in love. Upon my return to Canada, I googled bird photography and fell into the wonderful world of my feathered friends.
