Snowy Owl

I was so excited. Got to see a Snowy Owl.
Last week one was spotted down by Salem. I was still pretty sick with this stupid Virus.
Had to pass on it.
One was reported only 8 miles from home. It was over by I-5 and Terwilliger. Decided I had to go.
Les said he didn't want me going alone so he drove. Funny when we got there he took the bins so he could get a close look. He likes to act like he's going for me but he really likes seeing the rare birds.

We got there and there were about 15 other birders there. The lady from the Audubon Society of Portland was there and said they think it was an immature female. She was beautiful.(not the lady the owl) She had about 3 crows that were dive bombing her and just being mean.

I think it was the most exciting day since I've been birding. 
Love my sweet husband for taking me and enjoying it. 

My camera has been acting up. I'm shopping for a new one. Any suggestions accepted. 
I Dropped my camera about a week ago and think something is off. Not getting very clear photos.
