the Churchill Northern Studies Centre has just announced that they will be releasing 5 Snowy Owls rehabilitated at the Owl Foundation in Ontario. I don't know why they are coming here but we're more than happy to have them.

They did this about 4 years ago and it was crazy, all of the photographers fighting for the perfect angle and standing right in the sight line of the birds. It was getting close to the time when Natural Resources called a halt to the whole thing and rescheduled when the photogs finally got the point and moved. This after being asked by everyone involved, it took them seeing that the birds were not going to leave the crates to finally move cause if they stood where they were they were never getting a chance at the perfect shot.

No I don't hate all photographers just the ones that ask me where the nests are and stand and walk where they shouldn't because they think they're special. Some seem to get tunnel vision, it seems not to be about the bird any more but the picture.
