Title: The Saw-whet's Boreal cousin
Post by: feathered on November 12, 2012, 10:58:28 PM

Keep an eye out in southern Ontario for these boreal beauties this winter - several have been banded as far south as Long Point/Port Rowan, and one even passed through Toronto on her way further south.

Yes they are a beautiful owl species. Too bad the barred owls love eating them, but thats nature at work.
