Record-Breaking Saw-Whet Owl Migration Observed in Northern British Columbia

Audio narration · Coming soon

An unusually large wave of young saw-whet owls has been observed near Mackenzie, north of Prince George, British Columbia. This record-breaking migration is believed to be linked to a boom in the populations of mice and voles, which may have supported the increase in owl numbers. Bird banders in the area are actively working to track this significant event.
