I had been photographing snowy owls for a few days at Boundary Bay in British Columbia and wasn’t having much luck with flight shots. The owls wouldn’t fly often, but when they did they would take off in the opposite direction from where I was situated. Finally, at the very end of day two, one flew directly over my head. It got so close that I couldn’t keep it all in frame. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 330mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/400th of a second.

Love the snowy owl in flight! So gorgeous.
Thanks Shardae. Glad I stuck around until well after the sun had set.
These things are just overstuffed pillows that poop mouse bones.
An unexpected capture, nice.
Oh my, that is lovely!
