Boreal Owl

Finally I have presentable pictures of all 11 Owl species, nesting in Ontario. I had pictures of this Owl before many times but always clutterd, no clean view. I had to drive north to Ottawa to get this picture, but it was worth it. I drove back in a snow storm next day but hey, I got the bird. I almost forgot to mention; it sits on a vole, the tale is sticking out as you might see it. This is what they do if the capture more than they can eat, to keep them from freezing.

A really good capture. Its body is almost spherical, the best shape for keping warm.
