Last winter the guide on my snowy owl trip showed me a photo he'd captured of a bird flying so low it was just skimming the ground. It was an awesome shot and set a goal for me for the trip. It's fairly typical behavior but like most things a guy has to be in the right spot at the right time. And then not screw it up. I did manage to capture a couple of low flyers over the course of the week. Here's one of them. How cold was it? Check out the hoarfrost on the bird's breast feathers.
The shot needed a good bit of processing to pull out the feather detail and I just got around to reworking it.
D500/AF-S 80-400@330mm, handheld
1/1600s, f5.6, ISO800
