It’s the day to celebrate the superb owls! All owls 🦉 are superb but here are some local favourites.

The snowy owl, a SUPERB OWL, is the official bird of the province of Québec, here with their official tree the yellow birch on my hand-carved map of Québec in this linocut.
The snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) is found throughout the circumpolar regions. They nest in arctic regions (including the northermost tip of Québec), but range throughout much of Canada when they are not breeding. A beautiful owl!
