Ghost of the Northwoods

A great grey owl takes off as it hunts the bog meadows.

Made my annual trip to Sax Zim Bog and once again it didn't disappoint. The owl sat for over an hour in some birch trees just resting in the dark shadows. I figured it would just sit there until nightfall, However, as the last rays of sun poked through a sliver of western sky, the snow fell and it started hunting. Flying from one perch to the next across the meadow, putting on quite a show.
