Great Grey Owl


Lapinpollo
Strix nubulosa
Great Grey Owl

Metsäpalo kulki alueen läpi ammoisina aikoina; kelon hiiltynyt tervaskanto on siitä muistona.  Nyt se on oiva koti lapinpollolle.

The resinous stump of the charred snag is the reminder of an ancient forest fire.  Now it is a perfect home for the great grey owl.
