    I was fortunate enough to spend about 14 hours over multiple days tracking this young Great Grey Owl in Northwest Wyoming. Great Grey Owls are one of the few owls that routinely hunt during daylight hours and perch on relatively low tree branches making them a photographers dream. This particular owl and another juvenile in the area were quite dedicated hunters and would search for mice & voles in the dry grass and meadows swooping long and low before gliding back up to it's favorite perches.
