Boreal Owl
A companion birding group found this bird and shared its location for which I am eternally grateful. The bird was initially perched in the open but soon began hunting in the woods. The bird was zeroing in on a vole when it quickly turned its head for a millisecond and gave this look. It then dove to the ground but missed its target. This was a life bird for me which I’ve been trying to photograph for ten years. I still can’t believe how lucky our group was to get such good looks.
