Dans le royaume des ombres et de la neige
Au cœur d’une forêt figée encore par l’hiver, la chouette épervière veille. Entre les troncs fantomatiques et le silence feutré de la neige, elle incarne l’équilibre parfait entre grâce et prédation. Un instant hors du temps, comme tiré d’un conte oublié.
Épervière boréale
Québec, Canada
An old image I took in 2005, in Manly, Iowa, with a Nikon D70 camera.
I first spotted the owl perching on one of its favorite trees. I had only taken a few shots when it flew away. I walked to where I might see it again, but no luck. Then while talking with a birding couple, we heard it calling out. We followed the sound, and found it on a tree calling out to the humans on the trail below. We all were between the bird and Its kill.
The busy trail disturbs the owl again. The owl flies to a tree where it can keep an eye on its kill.
Owl calls out again. It later returns to the red squirrel and takes to a more secluded place.
Surnia ulula ulula
Eurasian northern hawk-owl
As the name suggests, Northern Hawk Owls tend to act more like hawks than owls! These owls sit solitary in tall trees and hunt during the day, which are rare traits in owls. Northern Hawk Owls commonly feed on voles since they can be eaten whole and are generally plentiful. However, they also will eat baby hares, red squirrels, mice, rats, and lemmings. Smaller songbirds fit into their diet, too!
It is always a pleasure to see this northern diurnal owl. They behave like a hawk but look like an owl and they can see prey as far as .8km away
