Great Gray Morning Hunt

This morning I was in West Bragg Creek before sunrise looking for wildlife. I photographed a few moose scattered across a couple of back roads in the early blue light and then the light came up very quickly. I drove a bit further and then went for a short hike along a deer trail. When I came back to the road, a Great Gray swooped nearby and landed on a fence post across the road. I spent the next half an hour walking with this owl as it glided to a couple of different perches as it scouted for breakfast. I had a couple of good opportunities to photograph the owl in flight and had a great time following this raptor. It ended when it drove off and a stump before banking into the forest and disappearing in the deep shadows.
