The Little Hunter

from $35.00

The Northern Pygmy Owl is not necessarily a rare bird, but seeing one perched so openly is a rare and fortunate event. We spotted this one along the north road, and it was a hive of activity. It flew from tree to tree, its head swiveling, its intense eyes scanning the snow-covered ground below. It was clear this was a moment of preparation; the little hunter was focused, about to catch its prey and vanish back into the forest.

This photograph captures that brief, still moment before the action. Perched high on a dark evergreen branch, the owl's striking yellow eyes are fixed forward. The bright day illuminates the intricate, speckled pattern on its head and the white, streaked feathers on its chest. Set against a clear, pale blue sky, the image is a sharp, intimate portrait of a diminutive but formidable predator.

A signature piece from the "Winter's Sovereigns" chapter of "The Frozen Kingdom" collection, this print is a rare, open look at one of the park's most elusive small hunters.

Print & Medium

This photograph is defined by its exceptional sharpness, the bright, clear light, and the high-contrast detail. The striking yellow of the owl's eyes and the fine, intricate feather patterns stand out against the bright blue sky. To capture this clarity and vibrancy, my premium paper choice is Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin. Its subtle, satin-lustre finish will render the fine feather details with exceptional crispness and make the owl's yellow eyes vibrant, all while preserving the bright, clean tone of the sky without distracting reflections.

"The Little Hunter" is offered in sizes up to 16x20 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
