Great Summer!

It has been an amazing summer of bird atlassing in numerous remote areas of Manitoba. I will slowly get around to processing the photographic record but, in the meantime, here is my first teaser and one of the many outstanding highlights… do you know who this is?

  2. Hi Angad and all,

    This is a juvenile Boreal Owl, also know as Tengmalm's Owl (Aegolius funereus). The juvenal plumage is very different from the adult plumage.
