It's been a very good winter for raptors so far. The Great Gray Owl was a real treat to see as I wasn't counting on seeing one. It was very active near sunset but perched long enough in this tree for a photo.

Canon 7D MK2, 70-200 2.8L + 1.4x. Handheld. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Peter. I agree totally. It has been a great winter for seeing owls. I used to not like winter all that much until I took up bird photography. Now, I look forward to winter every year as it's the only time to see certain rare owls.

What a nice shot with a warm sunset color. You are so lucky to have them around. Great Gray Owls are very rare in western Washington.
