The animal on the cover of JUNOS Enterprise Routing is Tengmalm's owl (Aegolius funereus), also known in North America as the Boreal owl. The owl's distinguishing features include pale or bright yellow eyes and a brown body spotted with white flecks (its belly is usually off-white).
This solitary, largely unsociable owl lives in thick forests throughout North America and in various mountain ranges throughout Eurasia. They often nest in the old homes of woodpeckers. Although the creatures are unfriendly, they may show loyalty to their families by raising their young generation after generation in the same home.
