Great Gray Owls Hunting  (Strix nebulosa)

A good place to wait for dinner...


A false move by a vole!


A pinpoint dive, head in the snow, a sharp bite...


A quick look around...


Success!


One gulp, and the evidence is gone (almost).


Earlier in the day, we encountered this owl, who dove gracefully from a telephone pole.


Damn.


Off to a better spot.
