The Ural Owl inhabits old and undisturbed boreal forests, in an unbroken belt from Sweden and Finland across Russia to Japan, and is rarely seen to the south, only here and there, in the Carpathians (Slovakia/Ukraine/Romania/eastern Serbia) and Dinaric Alps (Croatia/Bosnia/western Serbia). managed to see it, his largest owl ever.

To round up the day, in our base-village of Chrisochorafa, we later had one adorable Little Owl just a few hundred metres from our hotel. I went to explore the best birding area of the national park, the legendary eastern levee, and this day started with another Little Owl in the next village.

Both Elk and songbirds have the same basic method of inseminating eggs, which is one of the steps in reproduction (but not by any means the first!), Songbirds grow the offspring internally for only a very short while, and then pop out an egg, which is then cared for over a significant period of time until it hatches.

When that isn’t possible, many raptor rehabbers keep tabs on nests and will place an abandon chick in a foster nest. Owls are a little different. They don’t build nests and some like Great Horned Owls take over old hawk or squirrel nests. Birds of prey look cool, but they can’t count. Leave it be.
