Northern Hawk-Owl

Description

For two hours beneath cold December rain, a Northern Hawk Owl hunted relentlessly. Perched, then plunging, she owned the grey silence. Water traced her feathers, eyes unwavering, patience fierce. Time slowed around her flight, each strike precise, wild grace enduring the storm, teaching resilience, focus, and the quiet power of persistence.
