-A Snowy Owl takes off just before a kill. I was blessed with this amazing and rare encounter in Ohio back in 2020. I sat and watched this bird for nearly an hour as it waited patiently for an opportunity to catch a meal. In this case, it was a vole scurrying in the grass field below. After an hour of stillness and patience, the owls head started to bob back and forth as it locked onto its target, and then. Bam! The takeoff led to a successful kill.
