Boreal Owl
The winter of 2018 has apparently been an "irruption" year for Boreal Owls, because of a lack of food in the Taiga forced many to wander south and find food (I.e rodents). When they fly south, they are stopped from traveling any further by Lake Superior (in the background of the video), and then follow the coast of the Lake until they are close to Duluth, which causes a "pileup" of both Boreal and Great Gray Owls. This "pileup" accumulated a total of 4 Boreal Owls. St. Louis County, Minnesota. This photo is of the original tree I spotted it in, but it was bumped multiple times by photographers who followed us to the bird. It did come closer for better views later.
