Visiting my new grandson gave me the opportunity to bird Lake Michigan, and this great lake provided a GREAT opportunity. The Oconto, Wisconsin  breakwater has had three Snowy Owls hanging out during the day. I assume at night they are having duck for dinner (lots of migrating ducks in the area).

The Snowies are very distant, and the sun angle is always wrong at this location, but still a great way to start the season for Snowy Owls. I used digital zoom for these images, which gave me an effective reach of 130x magnification. The Canon SX70 did quite well!
