Description

We saw the Snowy flying toward this side of the Inner Harbor and decided to look for it. When we arrived at the parking area, we noticed a bunch of crows acting aggressively. Sure enough, the Snowy had taken cover in a dumpster at a nearby construction site as the crows continued to harass it. I stood on a concrete drain cover to get a closer look and after a while the crows disbursed, affording me the opportunity for an eye to eye encounter with this beautiful Snowy Owl. I snapped a few shots and decided to leave him be, as he’d had enough excitement for one afternoon.
