Along the country roadside: Great Grey Owl.
I observed this owl hunting along the roadside in the late afternoon sunlight. I sat quietly in one place in the ditch becoming part of the environment and this method had enabled me to bag some good shots of this owl doing what it did naturally. I was fortunate that this owl tolerated me and kept hunting in the same area.
Here, it flew past me to perch on a fence post to resume listening to prey beneath the snow.
Taken on Jan.2017, Temp: -15C; 3.45pm, an hour before sunset
