My White Whale . . .

. . . My daughter has dubbed my search for a Snowy Owl in Muskegon as Captain Ahab looking for his elusive white whale! Well, I found him today, although he didn't do me in (just yet!).

 

I knew this was a large bird as I saw him fly from about 1/4 mile away and he looked as large as an eagle! This was taken from 150-200 yards away at full zoom (400 mm). He flew up to a retaining wall on one of the large waste water ponds when a car got too close and scared him.

 

Have a great 2016 Flickr and Facebook friends!
