Hunted a vole from about 1/10 mile away but flew back to original tree to eat.

Beautifully exposed and nicely framed. Love the look, right at the camera.
(Wouldn't mind seeing your specs.)

Apologies about the specs - forgot
nothing special
ISO 250 400mm 1/1600 f/9

had been sitting with the SNOW for awhile so was relatively close - was relieved when he decided to return to the same tree to eat
some winters they seem especially skittish, other winters not so much
I was lucky

Snowy Owls are hard to expose in the sky or snow. This is a good job. The head turn and vole in talons make it special.
Remember, a little mild insanity keeps us healthy
