My buddy and I decided to punch in the Great Gray Owl cheat code and flew to Minnesota. I got a tip from a Flickr friend and some other tidbits of insider news elsewhere. This was taken on our first day with the light snow falling. Only one owl actively hunting on this day. Next day three were hunting simultaneously. Took lots of shots. Saw about 8 or so GGO on our trip. Overall an amazing experience with these guys and the only battle was the minus temps. It got to as low as -24 one day!
Habile imitateur, le Moqueur chat préfère les sous-bois. À l'occasion, il offrira sa prestation bien à découvert .
Skillful imitator, the Gray Catbird prefers undergrowth. From time to time, he will offer his performance well short.

Another evening view on Dolomites from the Giau Pass, taken when we driving back to the hotel :)
The Giau Pass (Italian: Passo di Giau), 2236 m., is a high mountain pass in the Dolomites in the province of Belluno in Italy. It connects Cortina d'Ampezzo with Colle Santa Lucia and Selva di Cadore. It is located at the center of a vast mountain pasture at the foot of Nuvolau (2,574 m) and dell'Averau (2,647 m). It's a wonderful viewpoint, as well as a starting point for various tourist trails.
The Dolomite Mountains (the Dolomites) are a mountain range in northeastern Italy, part of the Southern Limestone Alps. They are in the regions of Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The Dolomites are mostly made up of exposed rocks – limestones and dolomites and partly – rhyolites. These mountains are characterized by very picturesque terrain caused by their erosion and they are considered one of the most attractive mountain landscapes in the world. A large number of jagged ridges, peaks and rock towers, very steep slopes, cliffs and large vertical rock walls of several hundred meters, deep valleys and karst phenomena create a spectacular landscape. On 26 June 2009, the Dolomites were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Kolejny wieczorny widok na Dolomity z przełęczy Giau, pstryknięty w drodze powrotnej do hotelu :)
Przełęcz Giau (wł. Passo di Giau), 2236 m n.p.m., to wysoka przełęcz górska w Dolomitach w prowincji Belluno we Włoszech. Łączy Cortinę d'Ampezzo z Colle Santa Lucia i Selva di Cadore. Znajduje się w centrum rozległego górskiego pastwiska u podnóża Nuvolau (2574 m) oraz dell'Averau (2647 m) i stanowi wspaniały punkt widokowy, a także miejsce startu na różne szlaki turystyczne.
Dolomity – pasmo górskie w północno-wschodnich Włoszech, część Alp Wschodnich, leżące w regionach Trydent-Górna Adyga i Wenecja Euganejska. Dolomity w dużej części składają się z odkrytych skał – wapieni i dolomitów oraz częściowo – riolitów. Góry te charakteryzują się bardzo malowniczą rzeźbą terenu spowodowaną ich erozją i uważane są za jeden z najatrakcyjniejszych krajobrazowo obszarów górskich na świecie. Duża liczba poszarpanych grani, turni i baszt skalnych, bardzo stromych stoków, urwisk oraz wielkich kilkusetmetrowych pionowych ścian skalnych, głębokich dolin i zjawisk krasowych tworzy spektakularny krajobraz. W 2009 roku Dolomity wpisano na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.
I managed to get out before the Super Bowl yesterday for a little pre-game shooting. Here, a male Northern Harrier scans a field for rodents. Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary in West Alton, Missouri
I found myself mostly frustrated with the extreme low light of Steigerwald this afternoon. My only consolation was being able to shoot this N Harrier male from the inlet, and then overlaying it onto an equally dark gray landscape shot from the same position.

I am saying goodbye to the Great Gray Owls for a while.
I will be going back to the boreal forest north of here once winter sets in and we get the frosty trees and blue skies for a setting.
