One of the Snowy Owls in the SDPB show. This guy was easily the most cooperative of the owls I ran across this winter, as by the end, I was within the minimum focusing distance of my camera (12 feet), and he just sat there until I left.
Last night on “Dakota Life” on South Dakota Public Broadcasting, they had a 3 1/2 minute feature on the Snowy Owl “irruption” in South Dakota this winter. Click here to watch.
The photos (not the video) used in the segment were all from a trip I took down to the Lake Andes area in south-central South Dakota in December. Great, incredible trip, as I saw about 30 owls the one day. They did a nice job talking about the owls in the state this winter, and the info provided by K.C. Jensen, professor up at SDSU, is really nice as well.
