    I’ve been searching for Great Gray Owls since 2021. Every trip before this one ended empty-handed. I drove to this spot 5–6 times and always came back disappointed until a couple of days ago. This time, patience paid off. A powerful reminder that patience and perseverance are everything in wildlife photography. Giving up is never an option. Keep showing up, even after the misses. These moments make it all worth it. Grateful for this beautiful encounter!
