Successful Saturday Snowy Owl hunt with Great Horned Owl and Snow Bunting

What a difference a couple of hours makes when it comes to the outdoors. While not being able to fin any more than one owl on Friday night, Dan, Jamie and I found four Snowy's (two fairly mature males) and a Great Horned. Not too shabby! I say "we" rather loosely as it was our driver Jamie who did the critical target spotting, I was very little help! We added other critters as well; a herd of 13 mule deer, (two of which were Bucks and still had antlers), a couple of pheasants, a Snow Bunting (which was quite accomodating), redpolls, and probably well over 100 Magpies. It was a great morning, the early light was Brutal, as you see in the Snow shot, but it eventually got better. Here are a few photo's that hopefully do the outing justice:

Enjoy!
