Henry Braithwaite’s Tales 
of the Forest 
The Owls of New Brunswick 
ONLY know of five different va- 
rieties of owls in New Brunswick 
and some of them are very rare. I 
never tried to learn their scientific 
names for fear I would have lockjaw 
trying to pronounce them. 
The most common owl is called the 
Great Grey Owl. It is very destructive 
to small game of all kinds and is a 
cannibal as well, for when two fight, 
they fight to a finish and the victor 
eats the vanquished. I have seen sev- 
eral cases of this from marks in the 
snow. They will kill rabbits and par- 
tridges and often visit farmhouses in 
the night and kill the poultry, and 
sometimes the cats are included! 
Owls have been the foundation of 
more ghost stories, Injun devil and 
panther yarns than anything I know 
of. The scientific men claim that every 
species of owls makes a different noise, 
but my experience with those I met is 
that they can make almost any kind 
of a noise they like, and some that 
would raise the hair on your head, es- 
pecially on a dark night if you are 
travelling a lonely road. 
Whenever I hear one around any of 
my camps, J try to kill him as soon as 
possible, for they soon clean out all 
the partridges and small game around 
the place. It is easy to kill them by 
setting a trap on top of a pole, the 
higher the better, in some open space 
near the camp. This is quite easily 
done by shaping the bottom of the pole 
so it can stick in the ground far enough 
down to steady it; drive a stake down 
beside it solidly in the ground and lash 
the pole to it. When the owl sees the 
light from the camp window, it is sure 
to come and investigate. There is no 
danger of catching partridge or small 
birds, they will not alight in the open 
places, rather preferring the thick 
trees. The owl picks the open places, 
so it can see well. 
An owl that is quite common is the 
little sawwhet, about the size of a 
robin. He is small but is all owl— 
what there is of him. He looks just 
as wise and important as his big 
brother and is quite tame. I have 
heard people say they have caught him 
in their hands, but I think it was be- 
cause he cannot see well in a bright 
light. He can kill a mouse as big as— 
himself and all kinds of small birds 
near his own size. I have heard it said 
he kills squirrels, but I have never seen — 
any evidence of it. 
HAVE seen some of the white Arc- 
tic owls in our forests, but they are 
very wild, so I never succeeded in get-— 
ting one, though I have tried often, for | 
I wanted one for mounting. Undoubt- 
edly their eyesight is much better than 
that of other owls. 
Next comes the great horned owl 
which is very destructive to muskrats, 
rabbits and partridges. I kill all I 
can of them on account of their hang- 
ing around lakes and dead-waters
