I stood outside in -12 degree weather for nearly three hours watching this amazing creature move from tree to tree while hunting. I did my best to guess where he was going to land next, and with a little patience, I succeeded!

The branch the owl appears to be sitting on is so small compared to the owl. Amazing photo.

congrats on winning my Challenge "patience is a virtue" !!!
was a close call between couple of photo's...
Having the patience to wait for three hours in freezing temps, studying behaviour of your subject is what my challenge was all about.
Again, congrats !!!

Love this image and thank you for joining my challenge wildlife (no zoo) striking a pose. Being a purist I choose another non cropped or re-edited image as the winner, but it was a very, very close call. Andre
