Sunny Day NHO'S

Well....I can't say I came across any great grays this morning but the area sure isn't short of Northern Hawk Owls! .....Found a new one next to the Zim Sod Farms on Hwy#7(Bobby Aro country) and others this morning...

this guy was sitting on a powerpole right next to the highway...

this one was on the S. Admiral near Kolu intersection...

and another shot...

I like that third one, Jonny. That owl is poised to launch, with its attention firmly focused on something out of the frame. Nice.

Thanks Steve.... I saw this one you mentioned fly from his "sitting post" on Kolu/Cranberry and nail something in the snow about 50 yards from us,then continued into some low alder brush onto S.Admiral for a brief time...sure would have been nice if he would have stayed in the alders for some nice "brush" photos instead of the usual "stick/perch" poses...Jim(jimalm) happened by as the NHO was flying between the trees and he snapped a few also...

it's cold when you see the smoke from chimneys in layers like this...morning temps were about 12 below with no wind...classic cold, winter morning in the Bog....

The hawk owls are nice, but I've been waiting for one of these Jonny Redhorse scenics!!! Thanks.

Good looking shots Jonny. That third one really turned out nice. The shots I took turned out like I expected-Bad

That landscape picture is great.
