So, what do you do when it is -32C outside but there is a Northern Hawk Owl a two-minute drive (then a 5 minute walk) from home? Well, you head out to see it!! This one was perched fairly low on an ugly tree, but it took off...flew about 300 feet and plunged to the ground to pluck a vole from under the snow. It never gets old....
