Reader Todd Mackinaw recently admired how the great horned owl can thrive from the Brooks Range in Alaska all the way to Uruguay in South America. The knee-high owl, known for its “plumicorns” — tufts above its ears that resemble horns — haunts every forested bit of Alaska. Right about now, in early April, many female great horned owls are sitting on nests they have borrowed from other large birds (no owls build their own nest).

Within a vast bowl bordered by blue hills, I rolled along on a trail scratched into ice by snowmachines. That deceptive basin — Minto Flats — is big enough to swallow Denali, if the big mountain happened to stumble in here and fall. Just over a ridge west of Fairbanks, Minto Flats is an oval of swampy lowlands larger than Anchorage. The flats are a quiet expanse that has for longer than anyone’s memory produced moose, beavers, and northern pike for local villagers.
