Oh, I so envy you. I have yet to lay eyes on one of these beauties.

This is one spectacular image of this Snowy.
 
Thank you KC! By coincidence, I grew up in Florence, SC. These are beautiful birds and they "winter" locally. I hear about far more than I see...lol.
 
Dosen't get more personal than this. Nice handleing of the exposure values. Well done. :t: :t: :t:
