I've never photographed owls, so I didn't know that, but got that impression due to the by-law here. I suspect their sensitivity to sound has something to do with that.

Yes, what type of boxwood. I get excited about certain species of it, such as English and Japanese boxwood, which I've never seen in Canada.

Our law here doesn't work on many fields. 😂

They can be found on birch, elm, spruce. Mostly, they are not determined by the trees so much as by the location, mainly the central parts of the place.

LOL, lucky you. I live in a very controlled external environment, bloody camera eyes everywhere in places they never used to be.

So they aren't fixated completely on boxwood. It's been so long since I was in an area where they are that's not in a city. Maybe I can learn more about owls from you. It's mostly hawks I meet here.

If you ever start looking for them, don't look up rather look for their poop below... 😏

Thanks for that tip! With birds of all kind, I am like the cat on the ground wishing to fly, so should be able to poop spot easily.

I was just reminded of when I took a cat I had home with me to visit my parents (way out in the country, very isolated). Being a city cat, didn't want him taking off, so he was on a very long string outside with us. My mother, a big fan of hummingbirds had things set up to attract them, so there were literally dozens of them flying around the house in summer, quite a thing. So my cat, LOL, he's staring up at them, wanting to catch one, making pathetic attempts to do so as they start dive bombing him just out of reach, teasing the crap out of him. We were all laughing about it.

Hummingbirds are cute, but very aggressive and defensive.
(as a cat person)

POOR KITTY!

They are and I wouldn't have thought that until I saw them gang up on my cat. Cats are one of my creatures, so I totally get it. I recall looking at him at the time with the message that they're just torturing you and you will never catch one, so give it up. 😂 I'll save my cat stories for another time.
