Here’s another one from my trip to northern Minnesota back in December. This great gray owl was diving head first into the snow in hopes of catching a vole. I suspect this particular attempt was a miss. It was hard to tell as the owl entered the snow behind a clump of grass and spent some time on the ground before heading back to his/her perch. Karen and I are off to New York for a few days tomorrow. Enjoy the weekend. I’ll be back Monday with my next post. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/1250th of a second.

This Gray Dive is great.
REALLY Great. You “froze” the owl in the perfect angle.
Bravo, Sean❗️
Thanks Bob. I only wish the vole wasn’t behind a clump of grass as the owl headed into the snow.
AWESOME!
All I can say is: WOW!!! Love that his one eye is in focus — adds even more drama.
Thanks Laura, that’s why I chose this one to post. I could see a bit of that yellow eye.
Intent for a meal.
No doubt singularly focused.
