Continuing with #Owls seen in #Ottawa for #superb_owl #SuperbOwl #SuperbOwlSunday
#NorthernHawkOwl
This photo was taken by my BBFF Amy. My camera went for a swim in the Macal River the week before. Every photo of a bird we have seen together brings back a memory of a great adventure.

For #throwbackthurdsay, a picture of a #northernhawkowl I observed hunting shortly after sunrise. Even though they are mostly non-migatory we get some that come down into northern Minnesota in the winter. It gets its name from the shape of its head (it's flatter than the heads of most owls), its long tail, its hawk-like flight pattern, and the fact that it hunts during the day.
