Learn and be amazed about owls of Canada from owl aficionado, David Gascoigne.
Throughout history no birds have evoked more human emotion, from reverence to dread, than owls, those mysterious creatures of the night. The unique lifestyle of these fascinating birds continues to be a source of wonder for people the world over, no less here in Canada where we have come to appreciate owls and the vital role they play in a healthy ecosystem.
