EDITORS COMMENTS
Fly High, Hunt Low: The Owl Invasion of '04/'05". In the winter of 2004/2005, something extraordinary happened in northern Minnesota. A wave of majestic Northern Hawk Owls descended upon the land, turning it into their hunting ground. One such owl was captured in this stunning photograph by Jim Zipp. Standing at an impressive 16 inches tall, these owls are not your average night-dwellers. With a taste for adventure and a preference for daylight hunts, they soar through open spruce and aspen woods like avian raptors on a mission. This particular snapshot showcases the owl's magnificent flight skills as it gracefully glides through the woodland canopy. Its underside plumage glistens against the backdrop of towering trees, revealing its true beauty to all who behold it. But what drove these feathered invaders south? It turns out that when prey species like red-backed voles experienced a population crash, these resourceful hunters wasted no time relocating to more abundant territories. So let this print serve as a reminder of nature's unpredictable wonders and how even our smallest actions can cause ripple effects throughout ecosystems. And if you ever find yourself wandering through Minnesota's boreal forests, keep an eye out for these awe-inspiring creatures – they just might be planning their next invasion!
