Snowy Owl Video
When I remember to, I like to take video of interesting or rare birds through my digiscoping rig. This is a short video of a Snowy Owl from a few years ago along Pheasant Branch Road, a few miles north of Middleton. I found this particular owl on my way home from work one evening in January of 2005.
"Science will never isolate or explain the special hold birds have on the hearts of men and women. But perhaps in trying to understand birds, we somehow feel closer to grasping the mystery of our own creation and evolution. Perhaps there is a bit of the migrant in each of us, and birds symbolize the freedom we envy but can rarely find. Of one thing I am sure: In our awe at the mystery and wonder of birds, at those powers so far beyond our understanding, we fell a humility that all too seldom graces the human spirit."
- Allen Fisher

Mike,
Loved the snowy Owl video...especially when he seems to be looking right at you...the eyes are enchanting! Also, thanks for the lovely quote from Allen Fisher. He expressed what resides in the heart of birders in a most compelling way....how many of us haven't dreamed of soaring up there along side of them?
Great blog entry, especially at this time of year!
That's a great video, and a beautiful bird.
wonderful video of the snowy owl! I sit back and think how amazing it is that we are able to share things like these video clips through the blogs! Bravo!
