Snowy Owl - full size crop

This is a fav because I have been trying for years to catch the Snowy Owl migration - finally!!! This shot also piqued my interest in photography again, after a few years of inactivity.

The 1D3 only has single point auto-focus @ f/8, so I was very pleased to see some shots in the sequence that were in focus

Note: No baiting was used in this session. I waited for a good part of an hour lying in a snowbank hoping this guy would do something interesting - never in my wildest dreams did I think he would fly right at me for a vole lying under the snow. My buffer filled before he got there but a fellow photographer got him from the side with his 1DX
