Boreal Owl (adult)
A magical night of owling, and finding an adult Boreal Owl is always a surreal moment. They are so reclusive and are often heard only. This one was very cooperative and allowed us to watch it for up to several minutes. We saw up to eight species of owls within 1.5 days including: Boreal, Spotted, Long eared, Northern Saw-Whet, Northern Pygmy, Barred, Great Horned and Western Screech Owls! For fancy chickens, we saw a male Spruce Grouse, Ruffed Grouse, and 8 Mountain Quail!
