Snowy Owl, Boundary Bay, British Columbia, CanadaThe pre-dawn mist created a nice atmospheric setting for this snowy owl perched on a tree stump. This was from the trip a few winters back in Boundary Bay, just south of Vancouver. About twenty three owls were overwintering in the area after migrating down from parts further north.
