Northern Hawk Owl
Northern Hawk Owl

Northern Hawk Owl is mainly a forest species, so it was a surprise that this individual stayed a while in mostly open country (with a few trees) to the east of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It wasn’t unusual for it to be active in bright sunlight as Northern Hawk Owl is a diurnal predator, hunting during the daytime. What a beautiful plumage, and definitely an intense look as it watched me briefly — there were many observers, but it concentrated on looking for food. {I used an 800 mm lens for this image, and cropped some from the original file.}
