Been following eBird looking for an opportunity to spot my first Snowy Owl. There had been several sightings over the past several weeks of one down at Long Beach Island In NJ, about an hour from where l live. Took the chance to go down there yesterday and walked the entire 2 mile stretch of the Edwin B Forsythe Wildlife refuge and came up empty. On my return walk from the southern end of the island I took a detour to the bay side of the dunes and spotted one . I grabbed several shots of him or her before it took off. Tracked it and took a few more shots but it was behind some dune grass. It took off a second time. I wasn’t very close in either circumstance and wasn’t very optimistic about the quality of the shots. I could see that there was some heat haze and the camera had a tough time locking on. But when I returned home I was pleasantly surprised that some of the shots turned pretty good. Here’s one below.
D500, 500pf, TC 1.4., 1/1250, ISO 112 EC of -0.7.
