Location: South Minneapolis - Lake Nokomis - Field Neighborhood.
This morning I spotted a very large and noisy band of crows sitting in my
neighbors' trees as I was taking my son to his school bus stop. They were
repeatedly swooping at a large pine tree, indicating a strong likelyhood of a
bird of prey. I got in my car with my camera and waited in front of the
neighbors' house. Within a few minutes, the crows flushed out a Great Horned
Owl from the tree. He flew to another nearby tree and perched. He had caught a
crow for breakfast. I observed the owl fly to several different locations over
the course of 40 minutes with the crows in hot pursuit each time. And, I
eventually had to head to work for the day. My very first wild owl encounter
and my first wild owl photos. Good way to start the day!
