Northern Hawk Owl
An out of town birder discovered a Northern Hawk Owl (click here for a bit of information about Norhtern Hawk Owls) at Beaver Dick park, which is a few miles west of Rexburg along the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, yesterday. I didn't find out about it until this afternoon after church. When I did though I drove straight out there. Northern Hawk Owls spend most of their time in boreal forests across Canada and Northern Eurasia so they're fairly unusual around here, although there are a dozen or so records for Idaho. Anyway, when I got there my friend Cliff had located it. I spent an hour or so observing the bird, photographing the bird, and visiting with some birding friends.
Here are a couple of images from the evening.

Who cooks for you? Who cooks for ya'll?
Admit it, that was funny!
Good thing you heard about it AFTER church, or you wouldn't have heard a word that was said... or, you would have snuck out I bet. Cool pictures.
Nice pictures. I like the warm light!
looks good! Can't wait to find out who wins the picture tomorrow!
