01-22-2023 - Photogenic Illinois Snowfall and Owls

[Ethan Schisler]

It has been a really slow winter here in the Midwest for snow and cold weather. We have had one photogenic snowfall in November, a wind bag of a snowstorm/blizzard around Christmas, and then this ordeal here. I managed to capture some nice winter scenes along with a few Barred Owls as well:













Hoping the rest of the winter picks up because it has been a well below normal snowfall winter here and fairly warm as well. Pushing on the door to February here soon as well, however the models are looking to pick up with cold/snow in the next 1-2 weeks.

I half expect Ithaqua to show up in those photos

Beautiful! We've got Barred Owls in our neighborhood, but I've only heard them, not seen them. The owl in flight is impressive.
