Catching A Pair of Snowy Owls at Fish Point

I heard that there were some snowy owls at Fish Point.  I've never seen a snowy owl in person, so it was kind of an experience.  It's not too far of a drive from here, so I decided to head up there.

 It wasn't too hard to spot my first owl.  There was a car in a parking lot nearby and if I've learned anything in my years of watching trains and boats, where there are other people, it's a good bet there is something to be photographed.

 There was an owl there but she(?) was a little on the far side, so I had to blow up this picture quite a bit to get her picture.

 I will have to admit, they are very nice looking birds.  The white stood out against the field.  I would imagine that wouldn't be the case if there was more snow on the ground.

 I just love those yellow eyes.

 She was keeping an eye on us.

 And then she took to flight.  I think she might have been hunting.

 Again, a very graceful looking bird.

Then I went to another spot and saw another owl.  Again, I think this was a female.  Apparently the males are pure white.
