EDITORS COMMENTS
Owl Invasion: When the Hawks Took Flight!". In the winter of 2004/2005, something extraordinary happened in northern Minnesota. A massive invasion took place, but not by your typical invaders. No, this was an invasion of majestic Northern Hawk Owls! Standing at a whopping 16 inches tall, these feathered raptors decided to break all stereotypes and hunt during the daytime. With their sharp eyes fixed on small rodents from treetops in open spruce and aspen woods, they became quite the talk of the town. Jim Zipp managed to capture one such moment during this epic owl invasion. His print titled "JZ-1875" showcases a magnificent Northern Hawk Owl perched gracefully on a branch. Its intense gaze seems to pierce through your soul while it plans its next move. These owls are no ordinary hunters; they possess incredible flight skills that make them true masters of their domain. They swiftly glide through woodland canopies with precision and grace, making even other birds of prey envious. It's fascinating how nature works! When prey species like red-backed voles experience a population crash, these owls migrate southward in larger numbers than usual – truly showing off their adaptability. So let Jim Zipp's captivating photograph transport you back to that remarkable winter when our skies were filled with these awe-inspiring creatures. Witness firsthand the beauty and power of Mother Nature as she orchestrates her own invasions!
