This has been an irruptive winter for Snowy Owls, with individuals spotted 
as far south as Honolulu Hawaii but as much as I'd like to claim otherwise 
this photo is NOT a wild bird.  It's in the care of a licensed falconer:

Technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO, shoulder stock & monopod.  All 
comments welcome particularly regarding color since this is a new computer 
and the monitor's not calibrated yet.
