Snowy Owl and Mount Baker

By Sean Crane | Published March 7, 2013

I had been photographing the owls at Boundary Bay in Canada for three overcast days before realizing that this majestic mountain was in the background across the bay in the United States. When the fog finally lifted and a bit of sunlight came through, it was quite a scene to see Mount Baker — located in Bellingham, Washington — slowly emerge in the distance. I was hoping for a flight shot with the mountain in the background, but had to settle for this snowy perched on a fallen tree.
