Every once in awhile you come across an active owl where you try and anticipate their next move. Beginning with knowing the difference between hunt mode and escape mode and it was obvious this owl was actively on the hunt. Witnessing its sudden head jerks and prolonged stares as it attempted to locate a meal beneath the snow.
Picking up on how the owl repositions itself and the direction it seems to be focused on is key.
Then attempting if possible to find a good position and wait for things to unfold…the owl now having sifted and focused just prior to launching.
The right place at the right time…just sayin !
