Fred Lemire shared some great photos with our CBC Nunavut Facebook page of snowy owlets a couple of weeks back. Here's his story of trying to find them again: 'After riding my ATV through difficult terrain for a few hours and hiking up and down through valleys and hills for a few more hours, I finally arrived at the place where I first discovered the small owlets. However, these little guys grow fast and had moved. I was almost ready to head back to town when I saw one at my foot and the other one was nearby. I backed away so as not to disturb them and spent another hour photographing them. Today, I earned my shots.' (Submitted by Fred Lemire)
