Welcome to
my Web site, dedicated to the conservation of northern forest
owls!!! |

|
24 Octoberfest 2011.
Still some owls moving through and I'll keep at it for
a few more nights. I took last night off,
however, because after 6 weeks of getting footed and
being perpetually tired, never mind the owl poop, it's
time to turn to winter.
Full moon, I cast thee out. |

Four boreal owlets surrounded by 13 dead
voles...mostly red-backed with a couple of meadow
voles thrown in. This box will smell yummy in
a couple of weeks. |
The luckiest
shot I have ever taken.

A newly hatched boreal owl. And I mean newly
hatched...probably 2 days old. Three eggs are ready
to join him/her. |

For 3 glorious,

Winter does not
get any better than this. |

and moss in the nest, and I didn't put it there...so
who did? |

10 January 2004. Nikky
didn't want to take the back roads, but look at what he would have
missed. |
Parents: It's
20:00, do you know where your children are?
Fifth graders
from the Sawtooth Elementary School risk their lives
for an evening with the saw-whets.

"We
common mortals, who cannot see in the dark, know very little about the courtship
performance of the owls, except what we can learn from listening to their
springtime voices" (A.C. Bent
1937).
