Probably because you can't clearly see how crappy the image quality is, hah. Other then that I don't really have a reason. Just easier to click under the share button on flickr and copy/paste I guess. Quote:

Gotta get some exercise  Look for a silly kid with the worst camera lens ever! If weather still good throughout the day I'll go to Reifel as well and maybe Deas Island after that on my way home.

All of my secret locations are in my iPhone's GPS. I've never had much luck in Brackendale.
The Snowy Owls must be suffering due to the recent warm weather. I hope they're not being bothered too much by photographers.

Never use flash when shooting owls! Their eyes are very sensitive as they are nocturnal...You don't want to harm their ability to hunt at night.
It's sunny out here at Boundary Bay and it's high tide! Will report later as to where any owls are. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Jason, you can suggest to me not to do that, but using exclamation marks and telling me not to not necessary.

I was just trying to get a point across...I wasn't being (or trying to be) belligerent. Why should I not tell you to not use flash? I was told not to use flash by a Canadian Wildlife Services Officer after I did so myself a few years ago, so I thought I'd tell you too. I just thought that if you wanted to be taken seriously by other serious birders out in the field and not ostrasize yourself in front of them you needed to know... Didn't think your feeling would get hurt so easily. Sorry...
Great lighting conditions here at Boundary Bay! The snowy owls are sitting about 50 feet from the dyke....get here fast before the light disappears! No sign of the short ears though. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Couldn't sleep much, I was bored and eager to get outside for some fresh air so I grabbed my crap equipment and left the house early morning.
Went to Deas Island and got... 
The bird flew away towards the sun so I couldn't snap an in flight photo.
Then went to Boundary Bay and saw... 
Wish this one was in focus. 
Taking a bath? 
So bright outside.
Wanted to go to Reifel but I had to leave Boundary at 11:30am to drive my sister to the airport.
Going to do it all over again tomorrow but head to Reifel after Boundary

Senna,your statement did not "hurt" my feelings, its just not necessary to get emotional. obviously when there's exclamation marks, that's what i think.
i'm a big boy and although relatively new to this, i do realize the potential risks, and deemed them low for the time and place of the shoot.
i've heard the debate on other websites, and therefore its not something i did without thought.
we have a guy on our website who is a professional wildlife photographer, who is actually in South America right now doing his exotic bird thing. i plan to pick his brain about it when he gets back. he teaches bird photography techniques, including multiple flash set ups, etc. i'm quite interested in his thoughts about it.
here's a thread he posted to prove he has no problems with using lighting with an owl: http://www.canadian-photographer.ca/...ad.php?t=16138
the Wild Life Officers,meh, you know are going to tell you something that is strictly by the book, so i'm going to have to take that with a grain of salt.
i guess, if anything, i'm surprised you would think i would harm a bird.
