Northern Hawk Owl in St. Louis County
2014-06-07

'Rare Regular' in Minnesota - Five or fewer records in St. Louis County for the Summer season

A pair of Northern Hawk Owls successfully fledged 4 owlets in Sax-Zim Bog. There has been several attempts in recent years of Hawk Owls nesting in Sax-Zim Bog and I only know of one pair that successfully nested in the bog. Also in Sax-Zim Bog a pair of Great Gray Owls also successfully raised 3 owlets this year. It's always a great experience to observe these owls successfully raised young in Sax-Zim Bog.
