Last light of the day

Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) hunts over snow covered fields in Ulster County, NY. The sun had disappeared behind the landscape and the blue hour was just beginning. Most of the other photographers and birders had left only a few of us remained. I moved to an elevated platform and watched this owl make a few passes in the waning light. Taken 2/19/19.

 

You may notice some wing blur as I lowered the shutter speed to keep the ISO / noise down.
