Boisé de Marly, Cap-Rouge / Sainte-Foy (Québec)
Souvenirs d'enfance
Le boisé de Marly est le terrain de jeux de mon enfance. À l'époque, il n'y avait pas de résidences, ni d'édifices à bureaux, ni écoles qui sont venus le morceler. Que des arbres et quelques clairières couvrant une superficie d'environ 2,6 Km² (1 mi² ). Un forêt mixte où mes premières observations d'oiseaux ont été faites, directement en arrière de la maison familliale où d'ailleurs cette photo fut prise. La chouette rayée était une résidente permanente de ce grand boisé qui lui fournissait nourriture et abris. Elle y nichait même. Je suis content de constater qu'elle y est toujours.

Childhood souvenirs
This woodland , named "Boisé de Marly", is the playground of my childhood. At the time, there were no residences, no school or office buildings who came to split it. Only trees and some glades covering an area of 2.6 Km² (1 mi² ) about. A mixed forest where my first sightings of birds were made, directly behind the family home where this photo was taken. The Barred Owl was a permanent resident of this woodland that provided it food and shelter. It even nestled there. I'm glad it's still there.
From tiny to large.
A couple of days ago, I posted a shot of the Northern Pygmy Owl which is the smallest owl we see in Canada, and one of the smallest Owls in the world. I also photographed this Great Gray Owl on the same day.
Great Gray Owls are considered to be the largest Owl in the world, but only in terms of body length, not mass.
They actually have a small skeleton, and most of their length and volume are due to their very thick plumage which helps them survive the cold winter climates of their habitats.
Barred Owl
The Barred Owl (Strix varia), or Northern Barred Owl, is a true owl native to eastern North America. Adults are large, and are brown to grey with barring on the chest. Barred owls have expanded their range to the west coast of the United States, where they are considered invasive. Mature forests are their preferred habitat, but they are also found in open woodland areas. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, but they are also known to prey upon other small animals such as reptiles and amphibians.

Barred Owl
The Barred Owl (Strix varia), also known as the Northern Barred Owl, Striped Owl or, more informally, Hoot Owl, is a North American large species of owl. A member of the true owl family, Strigidae, they belong to the genus Strix, which is also the origin of the family's name under Linnaean taxonomy. Barred owls are largely native to eastern North America but have expanded their range to the west coast of North America where they are considered invasive. Mature forests are their preferred habitat, but they can also acclimate to various gradients of open woodlands. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, but this species is an opportunistic predator and is known to prey upon other small vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as a variety of invertebrates.
