BIRDS OF A FEATHER

GREAT GRAY OWL ON PERCH The Great Gray Owl is a silent hunter. Often perched low to the ground, it is listening for the rustle of mice and voles moving under the snow. Its amazing hearing allows it to pick up those sounds from great distances at which point it will plunge into the snow and grope for its prey with its long legs and sharp talons.

MALE PROTHONOTARY WARBLER The Prothonotary Warbler barely makes it into Canada, and is considered a declining and threatened species. It prefers the Carolinian woods and swamps of extreme Southern Ontario, and can be found there at Point Pelee National Park and Rondeau Provincial Park.
