Snowy Owl Chick

Previous photograph Back to the gallery page Next photograph

Snowy Owls are occasionally sighted around our home area of Vancouver, Canada. We had a pair stay in a vacant lot across the street from our house. However this particular owlet was photographed in Germany, at the Falkenhof am Jaudenhang in Lenggries, Obb. The owlet's name is "Hedwig" and more photographs are available at the Falkenhof's website.

The camera recorded the following information in the original image file:
