20100204 041, 63 Northern Hawk Owl.jpg

Moose Creek

After being high up in a deciduous tree (see yesterday's posting by clickin "Next"), the NHO flew to this perch on top of this Spruce tree. By the whitish streaks along the right side of the top spike, this would seem to be one of the Hawk's regular perches.

Hank-Thanks for all the nice comments on my recent photos. Finally had time to look at your recent shots. As usual all very good but I especially liked this one, the porcupine!!! and the bathing Cooper's. Good luck through the spring as things speed up naturewise. Pat Marklevitz
