Kudos to Miriam for noticing the "white bump". Now that was special. I've only seen one owl in the wild but that snowy owl -- wow. Like a holiday gift wrapped in snowflakes. And those eagle shots -- nice! They are formidable looking birds, aren't they? There is one on our lake I've only seen in flight once but I'm always glad Lizzie is an inside cat when I do. I think they are powerful enough to snatch her up!

We do get the odd Rough-Legged Buzzard here during winter but they are infuriating birds in that they sit for hours without doing anything, usually in such a position that it's impossible to verify that it's not just a particularly inactive Common Buzzard!

Nonetheless, as often as possible, I like you hit the birding trail in preference to being a caged tiger. <br /><br />The difference is you have blueberry muffins, Bald Eagles and Snowy Owls as superb compensation while I have Conder Green and a bacon butty. <br /><br />Poor old Benjamin Franklin. Here’s me thinking he was a North American hero. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, so obviously we must now rewrite history so that he can go to the bottom of the class alongside Winston Churchill and all of those other scoundrels. <br />Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-3809639099429819552018-12-17T14:24:41.358-05:002018-12-17T14:24:41.358-05:00Hola David.

Of course you would have liked it to seem them from a bit closer distance, but just to see them is a good start. Maybe you'll be lucky this winter to encounter them again. The pictures you have taken in the past are promising. And yes, Silent Spring of Rachel Carson is familiar to me, for already many, many years.<br />Greetings, KeesKees van Dommelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937232281857503609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-20671500504589128002018-12-17T01:10:07.604-05:002018-12-17T01:10:07.604-05:00Härligt att få se dessa imponerande rovfåglar i na...Härligt att få se dessa imponerande rovfåglar i naturen, jag har alltid varit en supporter av de stora rovdjuren och deras rätt att existera i vår natur. Sorgligt att läsa presidentens brev till sin dotter, så moraliserande över en art som bara gör det den har fötts till. På samma gång är det upplyftande att konstatera hur mycket vi trots allt lärt oss, de flesta i alla fall.<br /><br />Snöugglan är så speciell och jag förstår varför det är värt en hel del tålamod och besvär för att få se den. Som alltid blir jag fascinerad av detaljerna du delar med dig, som att snöugglan söker sig till snöiga platser som ett skydd mot upptäckt. Så har evolutionen ordnat det för att säkra artens överlevnad.
