I didn't expect it on my Minnesota Trip. I heard through word of mouth about an area were someone was seeing them. I got a brief distant look at one flying from the top of a tree to the ground.
The next day, nearby, on an early morning walk, one flew close over my head and landed on a distant tree. It was an odd sight: an owl shaped bird flying like a Cooper's Hawk.

Great bird. I got lucky during the owl invasion of 2004-05 and saw almost 30 of them.
