p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · More Northern Hawk Owl in Wisconsin on January 4, 2015.


I drove over to see the Northern Hawk Owl in Wisconsin on January 4, 2015. Apparently a Falconer lives in the area and he's actually got the Owl to land on his hand. So the mystery of this bird's origin continues.

Canon 5D III w/ Canon 500mm f4 II and Canon 2x Extender III.

Nice job on these Mike. I"m liking these a lot. I pick #1 as a favorite. I bet you could brighten it up a tad, especially the body and head (midtones) with a small curves or exposure adjustment. I hope to get this species soon.

Unfortunately I've been provided with photographic evidence that the bird is being heavily baited and taking mice right out of peoples hands. It's now apparently approaching cars as they drive into the neighborhood. It's unfortunate people can't take advantage of the great views it's already giving and not f--- with the birds well being.

The DNR has a biologist keeping an eye on it now, and may relocate the bird if necessary.

Sorry for the rant. You have some wonderful images!

Great bird and some lovely shots although a bird dark IMO. I think they could be improved even more. That however is an excellent bird. Hopefully you can get back there.
