Okay, Edgar Allen Poe did not include a reference to a Snowy Owl in his famous poem, but somehow it seems appropriate. My favorite lady Snowy found herself under attack yesterday afternoon (she is okay). In fact, given it was only one raven pressing home the attack, at times the owl chased the big black bird!

You will hear briefly some music during my short video clip. My phone was ringing (ignored). My ring tone is an excerpt from the Volga Boatmen. Kind of funny given what was taking place.
Once this attack was finished, Lady Snowy got her evening hunt underway. She was kind enough to even pose in non industrial locations, and allow a sunset photo or two. Due to this bird’s cooperation with me over the past week, I recognize this Snowy Owl is a true lady … and in the tradition of naming owls … I present:
Lady … the Snowy Owl
Lady at Sunset
Lady on the Hunt after Sunset
Just in case you might be thinking I was devoting all my attentions to Lady, I also enjoyed some time with this all white male Snowy Owl. However, this gentleman is “too cool” to ever do much of anything before sunset, let alone hunt. Thus, although he is an extremely handsome bird, I tend to ignore him.

I plan to take a few days off from blogging. Time to get ready for my visit to warmer climates!
