Snowy Owl a la RMT-P1BT Bluetooth Remote

There was light freezing rain that caused a thin layer of ice over the freshly fallen snow. I love the way the talons are gripping the ice as this young female Snowy Owl takes flight.

I had my Sony a9 II Camera body, Sony 600mm f/4 GM OSS Lens, Sony FE 1.4X Teleconverter mounted on my Wimberly Head II all ready, with my Sony RMT-P1BT Wireless Remote Commander tucked into my mitten and ready for the blastoff; so nice to keep my hands warm inside my mitts when triggering my camera via the bluetooth remote!

Snowy Owl Calling

Snowy Owls are usually quite silent during the winter, but they do occasionally make loud, high-pitched, blood-curdling screams; usually, the result of another Snowy Owl encroaching on their winter territory.

For Sony a9/a9II & a7RIII/a7RIV users out there, I recently discovered the Newmowa USB powered double battery charger; it’s a small charger that simultaneously charges two NP-FZ100 batteries. This is not a fast charger (good for battery health), as it’s charge speed is dependent upon the power delivered by your USB power source. In my constant quest to pack less and lighten my load while traveling, this little charger can charge both batteries overnight and occupies less space than a single Sony NP-FZ100 charger.
