When it comes to birding, there is no shortage of magic moments. Whether observing songbirds from the comfort of our home or backyard or getting out in the field and tracking them down, the connection we feel to them and nature is otherworldly.
While we each have our preference to different species, when it comes to truly unique birding experiences, not much can match the excitement of spotting a large raptor such as one of our owl species either in flight or perched up in a tree.
There are roughly 200 species of owls on our big, beautiful planet and we are fortunate that 16 of those species call Canada home. Given their elusive habits, spotting one can be a challenge, but one definitely worth pursuing. With that in mind, we have compiled a quick list of five interesting facts about these large raptors that you might not have known!
