Heck, I’m thrilled! Some winters it is rare to see even one of there beautiful owls, and as folks know who follow my blog the Northern Hawk Owl is the “sparkbird” of this 12 year online effort. While most folks up here in the Northland drop everything and chase reports of Great Gray Owls, the NHO gets that kind of attention from me!
Anyhow it was a fun late morning yesterday when I watched this owl hunt for almost an hour. It is not worth asking me the location of this bird. It was not in Sax-Zim Bog, and the location will not be revealed. The Northern Hawk Owl would get inundated with visitors.
And the NHO Movie! (video link for email subscribers)

I’ve been looking up on my hikes hoping to spot one of these beauties. Thanks for sharing!
(Off topic) Anyone know why there would be a spike in instances of ravens at Rich’s BirdNET-Pi – Amity Creek & Gardens today?
A beauty – so happy for you!
good thinking on the location issue! i appreciate “earning the view or shot”
I look forward to your daily adventures into the birding world! Your pictures and comments take me way from our world of turmoil for a few minutes.
Thank You!
