About These Birds
Boreal Owl
The Boreal Owl (<em>Aegolius funereus</em>) is a small owl belonging to the family Strigidae (True Owls). It inhabits forest environments, where it relies on dense coniferous and mixed woodland cover for shelter and foraging. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature. The Boreal Owl nests in cavities (nest type CV), making use of natural tree hollows or abandoned woodpecker holes. Incubation lasts approximately 29 days, and fledging occurs between 28 and 36 days …
African Scops-owl
The African Scops-owl is a small, cryptically patterned owl with a wingspan of about 26 cm and a weight near 88 g. It roosts by day pressed against tree bark, blending in perfectly, and calls at night with a repetitive, monotone whistle across African savannas and woodlands.
