From Unalakleet to Nome, enchanting, pint-sized boreal owls have been popping up in unexpected places.
These small rodents are a key part of the Northwest Arctic ecosystem.
Voles breed like crazy. They can have three or four litters of six to eight kits each summer. Babies are born hairless, but are weaned and on their own in less than three weeks. Females are ready to breed at 30 days.
I have never seen so many little tunnels on my lawn before.
This small owl was sighted perching under a building. LEO Network looking for some help on an identification.
