Saw-whet owl box

​We are very honoured to be able to share some amazing footage inside a saw-whet owl box. A nestcam was placed in this box (located near Edmonton) before the owls commenced their nesting season, so we are able to view and enjoy this remarkable footage without disturbing the owls at all!  Enjoy!!
