Owl in one. 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. They have a preference for dense forest environments but are known for their adaptability and have been observed in various habitats, including mountainous regions. With dark plumage and expressive eyes, it strikes a captivating figure in the moonlit canopy, intriguing bird enthusiasts and researchers.
