You’d think witnessing something as beautiful as this sunset would be enough, but right after the sun set over those hills, three short-eared owls came out to play. I watched them swoop and dive for the creatures who live under the snow, auspiciously soaring into a sky that seemed painted to celebrate the very existence of these awesome birds of prey.
