Information about the Boreal Owl:
The Boreal Owl is a small owl native to much of the central and northern forests of North America, Asia and Europe. It is also known as the Tengmalm’s Owl after Swedish naturalist Peter Gustaf Tengmalm. Other names for the owl include Richardson’s Owl, Funeral Owl, Sparrow Owl, and Pearl Owl. This species is a part of the larger grouping of owls known as typical owls, Strigidae, which contains most other species of owl. The Boreal Owl grows to be about 8.7–11 inches long (22–27 centimeters) with a 20–24 inch wingspan (50–62 centimeters . Like other owls, is a skilled predator, feeing mainly on voles and other mammals. It will also prey on smaller birds as well as insects and other invertebrates. It is largely nocturnal, though in the northern most parts of its range, it is forced to hunt during daylight because of the very short nights in summer.

Artist’s notes:
The Boreal Owl was completed on 7.25.2013. I hadn’t drawn an owl for some time, and as it’s one of my favorite subject, I was happy to draw the cute little Boreal Owl. I had illustrated one for a book several years ago, but it was just the head peeking out of a hole in a tree. In the images I create, I always try to show the entire body of the animal – or as much as possible, as the updated drawing of this owl demonstrates. The drawing is based on a photo by Ken Greshowak and was used with his permission.
