Hidden Hawk Owl

Hawk Owls are non-migraters and easily found during the Winter months perched on a tree top…around this time of year they will begin to move back into the Boreal Forest.
There they will find a partner and the courting and mating process will begin. Like all owls they do not build their nest…using cavities or may also use hollow tops of broken trees to nest in.

This Hawk Owl’s feeble attempt trying to hide from the Paparazzi…nice try but it didn’t work this time.
