pale assassin in the night
stealthily stalking

Interesting, nice structure, not sure I'd have gone with the first line, feels very 'air force' to me, took away some of the beauty. Still owls will be owls, I guess it's intended. I'm off to read the other one now !

A captivating description of a most beautiful bird, Stephen! I have a statue of a Snow Owl in my living room. Best wishes, Carolyn
