The reason for this visit was twofold, one because the lighthouse is beautiful to photograph and the 2nd reason there is supposed to be a snowy owl there. Arriving in the parking lot at Sohier Park across from the lighthouse, I noticed off to my left a white blur, but could not identify what it was.
After parking, setting up my camera equipment I walked over to would be edge and saw a couple with a spotting scope. On discussing the snowy owl with them. They remark that it just flew from the rocks on the left side behind the lighthouse. Oh well, I decided to see what else was around to photograph and on the rocks on the left side was a pair of Great Cormorants, which were displaying the white patch on their face.
I walked over and took photographs of the Cormorants. Turning around and looking at the lighthouse, where I noticed on the fence, the Snowy Owl. Watching and photographing the owl as it put on a display of preening, looking around, turning its back to us, but having its head, looking at us
(owls can rotate the head 270° because of the number of vertebrae's in its neck). It then flew up to land on the wires, 
stayed 
there for a while and then flew and landed on one of the buildings of the lighthouse. We really wish that landed on the red building. Because that would've been up pretty a picture than landing where it did.
As it was getting late, going on toward sunset, I went from photographing the owl, to doing scenics of the lighthouse. I want to the capture lighthouse with its red light showing.
Because, again, the sky was overcast, I ran this photograph through NIK software, Color Efex Pro 4 and VIVEZA.
