Northern hawk owls live and breed in Canada, but occasionally will migrate into the Northern US, when food becomes scarce over the winter. This individual had been reported hunting for the last few weeks, so I decided to check out the spot, leaving at 2:00am to hit the road. The owl was mobbed by chickadees, and killed 2 meadow voles. Luckily, Northern hawk owls are a diurnal owl species, so photographers get to watch their hawk-like hunting technique in daylight.
