Photo of the Day! Northern Hawk Owl

Nikon D90, Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 + TC 14E II @ 420mm, ISO 500, f/7.1, 1/1250 +1.3 EV

This was from our recent trip to northern Minnesota. We were lucky to have a cooperative Hawk Owl for the better part of the day. This Hawk Owl was actively hunting. It would sit on the tree top for short periods of time before changing locations or dive bombing an unsuspecting vole.

I've been busy but I finally got together a video from our trip up north this winter. Derek and I saw and photographed several species of birds we had never seen before. We even stumbled onto the same Great Gray Owl twice! We had a blast and can't wait to get back up there next year.
