Shot under gray sky.
Natural hunting.
My wife saw it flying low so we quickly drove over and I managed to click a few shots before she flew back where she was.
Taken from the car window, hand held.
Thanks from looking.

Exciting!!! Love the fact you've captured it with a natural prey item. This gets a big thumbs up in a world oversaturated with baited Snowy Owl images. That snow surface looks icy. I remember these conditions from when i was a kid growing up in Ottawa. Cheers

Thanks for looking,

That's of the best Snowy Owl images that I've seen yet. Love the over the shoulder look.....with the unfortunate vole in his beak. Well done.
