Be interesting to see how that shot was captured if it's real.

It's a cheat. Merging 5 images doesn't count as a great pic in my book.

Snowy Owl Caught by a traffic camera in Canada



Watch out, wildlife photographers — a road traffic camera in Canada might be giving you a run for your money.

The CCTV camera captured a snowy owl in flight, looking stunning against a white winter background above a Montreal freeway.

The four photos, taken on the morning of January 3, were shared on social media by Quebec Transport Minister Robert Poeti.

"Magnificent snowy owl picked up by surveillance cameras of the road network on the A-40 in the West of MTL," he tweeted in French.

The bird, an official national symbol of Quebec, usually resides in province's north, although it will often fly south during winter.

McGill Bird Observatory director Barbara Frei said the owl may have been looking for a place to perch.

"I think they are attracted specifically to the highway because it has open, grassy fields nearby which is perfect for hunting their favourite prey, which is small rodents," she told CBC News.

"They like to get a good lay of the land and the high lamp posts or other posts that they can perch on while hunting just suits them perfectly.
"They'll migrate to their 'winter vacation', which can be all the way down to southern Canada, in the Montreal region or places in Ontario."

Wondering what the bird looked like in motion? Take a look at the four photos stitched together:

Photoshop bollix and not very convincing.

hotoshop bollix and not very convincing.

The lightning looks out of place. The rest of the picture is good IMO.

It probably is photoshopped to a degree
