It's true. I'm there with Chris Wood of the Cornell Lab of O on a Wings trip and we've seen (now) 8 Boreal Owls,
plus 3 Northern Hawk Owls, 3 Snowies, one Great Gray, one Saw Whet, and one Barred. Also Spruce Grouse, Hoary Redpoll, Boreal Chickadee and lots more. But yesterday it was 27 below zero!
