When I woke up this morning I realized that posting the photo taken with my digital camera lens equivalent of 640 mm does not really provide most people with an idea of what the Snowy Owl looks like without the benefit of super telephoto lens combos or spotting scopes. You see that 640 mm is more than 12 times magnification. So here is a pic I took with my point and shoot camera at close to 'normal' view (approximately 50mm). In fact, this is a totally unedited pic without not only the cropping that most of us do to enlarge the view but without the other tweaks like improving the lighting.
Because of the lack of enlargement it may be necessary to double click on the pic to enlarge it for better viewing of the owl (which is why photographers enlarge their pics). The owl is on the ridge of the rooftop just to the right of the jog in the ridgeline. It is on a different house than the one in the post below and the view from the street where we were standing was about 200 feet so, though visible with the naked eye, it is very small. SeEtta
