Hello Lise,
Great image with excellent focus and exposure resulting in a wonderful in flight capture. Today Lucy and I saw four Snowy Owls all within a couple of kilometers of each other. They were quite far a field but we watched as little Horned Larks attacked one, then we witnessed two Snowys having a bit of a tiff. We did get some very long range images but I don't feel they are good enough for here. You series has just been incredible Lise, thank you.
Rick

the beauty of the feathers and the aerial pose do of this post a splendid capture!!!
thanks for sharing Lise.

best regards sERGIO

Is there just one snowy there at Mirabel? I've noticed several folks have shot there. I'm wondering if it is all the same bird or if there are several there. This is a great action shot. You managed good exposure on all the whites. Nice work. What a great opportunity to photograph such a spectacular bird.

Fantastic shot of this snowy owl in flight.
The POV of the wingspan is very impressive.
I really like the slant of the wings and the eye contact.
Great presentation of the brown patterns on the white wings.

Bonjour Lise,
Une autre de tes très belles photos. Belle couleurs et belle composition.
Très beau travail avec ta caméras.
Félicitation,
Roger

Very good on the long wingspan. Lise...I think your settings with the higher ISO really help. These do not seem to work with my D200.
I also think the composition with the owl on right, and snow drifts is so perfect for the upload.
Bravo.
