Northern Hawk Owl in the U.P.

Surnia ulula

This is an irruptive species: some winters they’re here; some winters they’re not. In those winters when they’re in the U.P., the best place to see them is in the Soo. I’ve had as many as six of them within a few square miles of each other (in the Soo) on the same day.

Here is a link to photos I’ve made of Northern Hawk Owl.
