EDITORS COMMENTS
. Get ready to be amazed by this incredible snapshot from the owl invasion winter! Meet JZ-1871, a Northern Hawk Owl with an attitude as fierce as its hunting skills. Standing at a mere 16 inches tall, this pint-sized predator is not to be underestimated. Unlike most owls, JZ-1871 prefers the daylight hours for its rodent-hunting escapades. From high up in the treetops of open spruce and aspen woods, it scans its surroundings with razor-sharp focus. With wings spread wide and eyes fixed on potential prey below, it's a sight that will leave you awestruck. This particular photo was taken during Minnesota's unforgettable owl invasion winter. When red-backed voles experienced a population crash, these magnificent birds wasted no time migrating southward in unprecedented numbers. Talk about teamwork! As JZ-1871 gracefully soars through the boreal forests of northern Minnesota, it reminds us of nature's remarkable ability to adapt and survive. Its flight is nothing short of poetry in motion - a true spectacle for any wildlife enthusiast lucky enough to witness it firsthand. So grab your binoculars and join us on this avian adventure! Let Jim Zipp's stunning photography transport you into the captivating world of Northern Hawk Owls and their extraordinary behavior during migration season.
