I have just returned from a few days in northern Inner Mongolia, near the Russian border, where I spent Christmas with Marie and SoSo from Hong Kong looking for owls. Highlights were many, including 6 species of owl – Eagle, Great Grey, Hawk, Little, Ural and Snowy. Spending Christmas morning watching 6 of the latter on the sparkling snow-covered grassland, was an experience that will stay with me for a very long time….
Wishing everyone a belated Merry Christmas, here is a glimpse of one of the magnificent Snowy Owls that we were fortunate enough to encounter on our trip. More details on this adventure very soon!
Terry: Great shots of superb Owls. I look forward to reading your full report and hope we have the same kind of luck on our trip this month.
Thanks Brian! I am sure you will see lots of good birds. The forest at Wuerqihan is superb. Looking forward to seeing you in Beijing on your way north..
