Great Gray Owl catching a Star-nose Mole

(Sax-Zim Bog, Duluth, Minnesota, USA, February 2005)


Listening after voles

A sound is heard under the snow, and the owl dives into the snow right away

What luck!

The prey is being carried to the pole

The Star-nose Mole still alive

The mole is being killed by a bite in the head

A big mouthful has to be swallowed

Bye bye, mole!

Full and satisfied!
