Abstract:

The boreal owl, known as Tengmalm's owl in Eurasia, occupies boreal and subalpine forests in a circumboreal distribution from Scandinavia eastward across northern Siberia to Alaska, and across Canada and extreme northern portions of the U. S. to the Atlantic Ocean. Although well studied in Scandinavia, the owl is less well known in North America. This species account provides in detail the known information about the barn swallow's life history, including its distribution, migration, habitat, food habits, sounds, behavior, and breeding.
