This adorable forehead belongs to a Boreal Owl, also known as Tengmalm’s Owl.

Description from All About Birds

In the dark of the night, the small Boreal Owl comes alive in the spruce and fir forests of northern North America and Europe. This bright-eyed, square faced owl sits and waits on a perch for small mammals and birds before gliding down talons first to grab it. From late winter through spring, its quick, hollow hooting sounds across the dark forest as the male calls for a mate. They spend the year in boreal forests, occasionally making their way farther south in years of prey scarcity.

    When I say faked I more specifically mean the depth of field being faked which I would be very surprised if it was

      Ooo I gotcha now. I do appreciate the insight though, my photography knowledge is very limited, so even though I don’t totally understand, it’s more than I knew before!
