Snowy owl, Canon r7 sigma 150-600, Ontario Canada
She looks so proud of herself! 😄
That duck must be exceedingly scrumptious judging by the face she’s making. Worthy of the finest french bistros.
It certainly looks like a top shelf duck…
Photog said it’s a Long Tail Duck
Oooh those guys are on my list! So pretty (and clearly tasty too).
looks like someone didn’t… duck… 🦆
also these shots are beautiful, nice job
Hah, one didn’t duck enough, and one will be much more duck than she was before.
We think of Snowies as cute and fun, but they are typically larger than the Great Horned Owl, making them the heaviest owl of North America. From what I read, the GHO is usually more powerful, but it just shows how tough Snowies are despite their delightful appearance.
Beautiful, yet dangerous!
I’m glad you like them. I always get a bit cautious sharing owls taking prey. Even though that is 100% an owl’s job, I get some people don’t find it their most appealing aspect. But that is nature for you…
Man, owls aren’t to fucked with.
These feet are made for smooshin’
That’s just what they do
One of these days these feet are gonna make dinner out of you…
Duck is delicious…
Yeah, out of all the things owls eat, this has got to be in the top 3. I do prefer mine with crispier skin than this, but all considered…
If you listen very closely at the moment of the strike, the Snowy says “yoink!”
I wouldn’t put it past her. That’d be an owl’s sense of humor…
