Think it's a male; less black spots. Just saying.
Good focus. Amazing that you captured so much detail of the feathers. Wonder what's on his mind.

You're welcome!

I have a place that the "Snowy's" will come down to in the winter, but every time I have driven the 2 hours to get there, all they want to do is hang out in the salt marsh..way out, so my pics, so far aren't even worth posting...this one is the kind of shot I'm always trying to get....

Oh like wild Owls? Uh that would be amazing if you catch a good shot of one of them!
In my areas around here i mostly only see are common buzzards, which i think are also
really pretty i think, but i never had my camera with me when i saw one
