Great Gray Owls are always super challenging to find at the southern reaches of their habitat. This photo was taken deep in the woods of Yellowstone far away from any road. It was well past sunset when this owl decided to put on a show and fly from perch to perch hunting over the snow. At one point he even decided to fly within mere feet of my head. This image here depicts a moment from that event. Now within just minutes of absolute darkness, all I could hope for was any image that wasn’t blurry from trying to capture a fast moving object with no light. In the end I love how this turned out with his wings rounded and blurred and hit little feet still dangling as they do right after take off.
