Northern Hawk owl - a photo on Flickriver

Northern Hawk owl

            A bird of boreal forests, the Northern Hawk Owl behaves like a hawk but looks like an owl. Its oval body, yellow eyes, and round face enclosed by dark parentheses are distinctly owl. Its long tail and habit of perching atop solitary trees and hunting by daylight, though, are reminiscent of a hawk. It is a solitary bird that tends to stick to the boreal forest, but some winters it moves south into the northern United States, delighting birders near and far.
    I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing two of these fantastic birds. Once while on a road trip in Alaska and this guy two years just across the border in a small town in Canada. He was quite famous :)
