Lack of taste

There are plenty of trees in the area where these Northern Hawk Owls are hanging out at the moment, yet some of their favourite perches are on top of hydro poles. Makes for really ugly photos, LOL, but yesterday it was more or less these poles or nothing. Hope you don't get too fed up of seeing photos of these rare to uncommon birds - I always know that I may never get another chance to see one. I have admired photos of Northern Hawk Owls, taken by other people, for a long time and always longed to see one for myself. it was such a thrill to see three of these owls yesterday afternoon, northwest of the city. We were lucky enough to watch one of the owls swoop down from one of these poles, land in the snow where it captured a mouse/vole and then fly off to a tree with its catch.
