One of thousands from this week’s three visits – this particular bird kept flying and landing near me. She would then sit quietly listening. Often, she would look directly towards the snow and Then lose interest. Every once in a while, she would not lose interest. She would silently Fly and dive into the snow on the ground. She would go completely under the snow – Just her wing tips would stick out. Then, she would right herself and enjoy the fruits of her hunt. Sad for the mouse, but it is the circle of life..
She was probably 20 feet away on this dive. One cool thing, check out the bottom half of the beak – cool curve!

Thanks for the description. It really adds to the image. Do you have any photos of the owl diving under the snow? I'd love to see some of those
