So I've lived the past way too many years but a scan 3-4 hours from Sax Zim Bog, in upper Minnesota. Realistically only heard about it maybe 5 years ago, and have been wanting to get there, having heard of owls and ermine and pine martins...
Well, today I finally made it, and I am hooked! The first animal I saw when I got there was a great gray owl. Didn't get any good pictures of that first one, but after spending the day there, found one that was actively hunting a small field. Saw this one snag 3 or 4 voles while I (and probably 20-30 other shutterbugs) snapped photos. This is probably my best one, just love the talons extended and the eyes so focused on its intended prey.
Hope it looks right, I'm sitting in my hotel room editing it on my laptop instead of my desktop back home.
