We were coming back from Nordegg after spending the day there. I saw the owl and hoped it would remain there while found a spot to turn around.

As we watched, it sensed movement in the tall grass. It's head moved from side to side. After a few moments the owl dived into the grass. It grabbed lunch and flew back up to the fence post. We witnessed the hunt, the catch and the consumption of a large rodent.
What a wonderful experience to see this beautiful bird in the wild. Just to see it was amazing but to see it in hunting mode was a once in a lifetime experience.
