Northern Hawk Owl – again

November 15th, 2007 Posted by Darren

The Northern Hawk Owl is still at Beaver Dick Park. It seems to be making a good living and I hope it sticks around for the Rexburg Christmas Bird Count (Dec. 22nd). I spent a little time observing and photographing it this afternoon. It really is a spectacular bird. While there I watched it catch and eat 1/2 of a vole. After it was done eating it stuffed the rest of it between some posts (to enjoy later I presume).

    I’m glad you posted a picture of a vole, because I have never even heard of one of those.

    Wow. Nice. I’ll pass these along and perhaps they will convince some other photogs I know to come hang out.

    Thanks for posting the information. I saw the Hawk Owl today at 10 am and there were about 20 people from Salt Lake City doing the same. This bird is famous!
