The second edition of Snowy’s Search for Color is at the printer. The end result is you may now download the second edition PDF at no charge. Unfortunately printed copies of Snowy will not be available till mid January.
I always give away PDF full versions of my children’s owl picture books. Thus, here are the two pages from which to get a free copy of Hoot or Snowy for the Holidays and view “online extras” about Snowy and Great Horned Owls.
Now it’s time to hunker down. Up to two feet of snow are expected in the next 48 hours as a winter storm bears down on the Northland.
As a fyi … compared to the first edition, the second edition has two additional pages, one totally reworked page, and further optimized images. In addition, the online extras page on this site for Snowy Owls was created.
Two days ago I was birding near a favorite spt, an old apple farm which is a bit inland from Lake Superior. The Bald Eagle pictured here was hunting at the farm until some toddlers came out to play. Uff dah! Little kids are scary! The sequence duration of photographs is no more than a two seconds.

Note: Large birds will almost always take-off into the wind.
