I had heard that there was a Northern Saw Whet Owls in a clump of cedars while I was on Amherst Island but I spent a long time looking before finding him. I’m sure I must have past him a couple of times before I was at just the right angle.

Amherst Island is famous for its winter owls, and this year looks to be especially good. When the rare bird line had reports of Boreal Owl, I made plans to visit, as it was ten years since I saw one, and have no images of this rarely seen species.
Although the video doesn’t have a lot of action, it will give you an idea of the species and it’s winter habitat.
