The Northern Spotted Owl is one of Canada’s most endangered animals. Learn more at Wild About Burnaby Lake on June 10th. At 12:30 pm, the Northern Spotted Owl Breeding Program will present a closer look what they are doing to help restore the population of Spotted Owls in BC. Visit their display to see feathers, eggs, and pellets from the residents at the breeding facility as well as a nest that was formerly used by one of the owls. They will also have their glove trained Barred Owl on site so people can learn about the differences between Spotted Owls and Barred Owls.
