Honorable Mention
Snowy Ballerina
DESCRIPTION
With perfect execution, gliding twisting and turning ever so quickly, this snowy owl brought her graceful mid-air dance to the beautiful space over a frozen winters field in Canada. It looked like a lovely ballet! Snowy owls will irrupt to warmer climates if the winter is particularly harsh or food is scarce. AUTHOR
