‘Twas The Afternoon Before Christmas

After raining most of the day, it eventually stopped and started to clear up. With a chance to get out and enjoy the last hour or so of light, I headed out to Boundary Bay. Not having actively tried for any Snowy Owls recently, I thought I would give them a go.

On arriving there were a couple of birds in fairly close to the dyke.

This particular bird was roosting nicely atop this old stump,

… but soon moved to back side bobbing its head looking at the passers by.

I moved down a little further to be able to see it on the back side.

It seemed quite relaxed yawning and preening,
