Snowy Owl Snoozing with the Moon in Milwaukee County Wisconsin on December 8, 2017

By admin | December 8, 2017 - 1:46 pm |December 8, 2017 Bird Categories, Typical Owls

While doing some birding in Milwaukee County this morning I came across a Snowy Owl. It was perched on top of a large dirt pile. For the most part the Snowy Owl was resting and left undisturbed, a couple of times the eyes almost opened. The moon made a nice back drop for the Snowy Owl image. I took a couple of images and left the area. It was a very cold morning, full sun with temps in the teens, stiff winds made it bitter cold out there. Images were taken on December 8, 2017.

Will they head further south once the snow starts? We are so blessed to have all of these sightings.
