I generally prefer a bit of background with my owl-in-flight shots, but this guy was intent on roosting on one of the taller trees in the area and had already risen above the background tree line. Photographed on my first trip to Sax Zim Bog in northern Minnesota in 2021. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/2000th of a second.
