Avid nature photographer David Warg was driving in an industrial area in Gardiner recently when he spotted a snowy owl sitting on a stump. “At first I thought it was a lawn decoration someone put in the woods as a joke,” said Warg. “But as I backed up and stopped, it moved its head.”
Warg immediately jumped out of his vehicle, walked towards the owl, and much to his surprise the owl gave him a few seconds to shoot some pictures before flying away.
“I have found it to be one of the most exciting moments as a hobbyist photographer,” said Warg. “And one I don’t think will be repeated anytime soon, as I have been back every day to the same spot with no luck at seeing the owl again.”
