It’s an exciting, hopeful, moment for B.C.’s wild spotted owls after a second release brings their population from one to three.
Two male spotted owls, named ‘sítist’ [te-syst] and ‘wíkcn’ [week-chin], were released on July 25 into the protected habitat in the Fraser Canyon. Their release is part of a partnership between the province’s Spotted Owl Breeding and Release Program and Spuzzum First Nation, to help recover the wild northern spotted owl populations in B.C.
