NBC News just did a spot on the owl invasion in Minnesota. The Boreal Owl in Central Park recently was a big deal; it’s probably the hardest North American owl to see. But we haven’t been getting the more spectacular (and seeable) Great Gray and Hawk Owls that have been showing up south of their normal ranges this winter. This report from near Ottawa sounds amazing: over 20 Great Grays in a day. Check out these pictures; I particularly like this one taking off; it reminds me of the Jabberwoky.

(And don’t miss the rest of Jody Hildreth’s kidwings site; turn a youngster on to virtual owl pellets.)
