Nature has met technology in Canada, with some stunning results.

Photos and video from a traffic camera in Quebec have caught a snowy owl in full flight.

The Transport Minister of Quebec, Robert Poëti, shared the photographs.

The images were captured by a traffic camera located on the A 40, west of Montreal.

Mr Poëti, who is responsible for the Montreal region, said the images of the owl were taken on January 3rd.

While it is Quebec's official bird, sightings of the snowy owl are quite rare.
