TAKE OFF

            Northern hawk owl moving from its perch to a new location 
He seen me figured I would want him on a hydro line instead LOL

These owl do not fly like a typical owl their flight is not completely silent there more falcon like they compare their hunting to a coopers hawk they have the same long tail
they also do not have asymmetric hearing like most owl but they still have great hearing able to find a vole 12 inches under snow with pin point accuracy I witness this guy do it found a vole 75 yards away under the snow [Shown in an earlier picture]
Their eyes are binocular vision able too find prey at great distances These owls are typically 14 to 16 inches tall
A typical owl could read a book from the far goal post to the other goal post on a football field with the light of a candle these guys are more daytime hunters more hawk like hence the name given too them
