Little Nomad - Northern Saw-whet Owl

9 inches wide x 12 inches high

Highly migratory, the Northern Saw-whet Owl is at home in the western forests from Canada south to central Mexico. It is also quite active during the day, which was how we found one - and nearly passed by it - in the San Francisco Peaks north of Flagstaff, Ariz.
