OK. No comparison in the size and the intimidating eyes but still "staring"
!Edited just for the funny fact: "Perhaps the southernmost record of Snowy Owl ever recorded involves a first-fall male that appeared at the Honolulu Airport, O'ahu, 24 Nov 2011 (HRBP 6713 published NAB 66:193).
Airport personnel attempted to scare it from the runways but when it refused to leave it was shot as part of bird-strike control efforts and sent to the Bishop Museum (BPBM 185577; HRBP 6714).
An irruption of Snowy Owls had commenced in the North American Pacific Northwest during Nov 2011, and the record was accepted as a naturally occurring vagrant to Hawaii by the HBRC in May 2015"
My only question to the "naturally occurring vagrant to Hawaii" is how it happen exactly on the international airport. No other records for Hawaii

Played around with the RF 2x on the RF 100-500mm and R5. A 1000mm is too long with too narrow a field of view for me, especially as only the centre 50% of AF is active, and AF isn't as fast at f/14. But, I could track a Blackheaded Gull, the other side of a lake more than 100mm wide and keep it in perfect focus against a background.

Eurasian Goldfinch, R5 + 100-500mm @1000mm. It's so often difficult to see their black eyes against the black masks surrounding them. DxO PL5 grossly oversharpens the lens at 1000mm on both the R5 and R6 and I slide the global sharpening to -2..
