Boreal owl
In North America's coniferous forests lives a tiny bird of prey—the boreal owl. The small, brown and white flecked raptor is shy and evasive around humans, keeping it well hidden from our view. Despite its compact size, it is a formidable hunter, feeding on small mammals, voles and birds. With dark plumage and expressive eyes, it strikes a captivating figure in the moonlit canopy, intriguing bird enthusiasts and researchers. Any birder would be fortunate to spot one during their visit to Saskatchewan, Canada.
