Snowy Owl and a Northern Harrier Hawk

Description

Today I managed to get out and search for snowy owls. I ended up counting over 14 different owls throughout the day and also many other bird species. In the morning we went out to a spot we usually spot owls and noticed one out in the edge of the field. Once unpacking our gear we also spotted this northern harrier hawk mocking the owl and trying to get it away from it's territory. We slowly approached and got to view this interaction several times before they both decided to move location and continue battling for their territory deeper in the field. It was one amazing experience! Also while shooting this happen a coyote decided to check out what was going on and was slowly approaching from the deep grass. What a great day!!! :D Thanks for viewing and feel free to share. If you would like to see more wildlife, night skies and landscapes from Ontario, Canada feel free to follow me.
