They are also quite shy... I have feeders in the yard and if I am outside they will not come anywhere near, so getting a picture is a bit of a challenge...mackguyver said:

I do not know what flower it is. Anyone want to take a stab at it?

Wonderful shot. That creamy background is awesome...really helps enhance the subject. Getting that kind of background was one of the key reasons I got the 600/4, it really does wonders for subject isolation.

Agreed Click! That's the kind of image I expect to see in my Bird Guide Books! Very well done Vern!

I'm jealous to Don! I've been looking all over Central Florida and haven't spotted one yet...
So far we have seen 4 snowy owls out here. There is a report of one on Bermuda !
PS. I think that photo is of a young female.
Well, hope springs eternal! I guess I should keep looking then!

Thank you Jon! I appreciate your comments. The 600/4 and the 300/2.8 are both on my list... just for that reason too! Well, the 600mm for the reach of course too! These were with the 70-200 2.8 II. I haven't taken her out for awhile, I've been shooting a lot more this year with my 100-400mm since picking up the 5dIII last Christmas. The 5dIII made my 100-400mm like a whole new lens! I was getting ready to sell it because I got better results with my 70-200 on my 7d than I did with the 100-400mm. Glad I bought the 5d3 first! Thanks again!jrista said:
