It was another one of those…”forget about the job jar” days.
First trip out-n-about in search of Great Grays and can say I seen one…unfortunately no photos.
The day wasn’t a total washout as I did come across a Northern Hawk Owl who was actively going about its endless search for a meal.
Surprise, Surprise…it’s another owl.
Northern Hawk Owl takes to flight headed for a better vantage point on it’s search for a meal.
The Winter Owl season is beginning to draw to a close but I’ll still be out-n-about when ever possible to get the “Last Kick at the Cat” (Owls)
Cheers !

They sit perched and alert listening and look for their next meal…as if their head is on a swivel they are constantly looking right, left, up and down.
The Northern Hawk Owl’s are diurnal and means they hunt during the daylight hours as well as at night…this also includes the Snowy and Great Gray Owls.
Owls such as the Eastern Screech Owl and Great Horned Owl would be nocturnal and become active at dusk when they begin to search for meals.
Take note of those talons…not something to mess with.
