Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus)

Drawing by Barry the Birder
Pictured above is a drawing of a Saw-whet owl which I drew 31 years ago.
I photographed the bird near to where I lived north of Toronto, Ontario, and did the drawing from the photograph.
This small owl, discovered in its daytime roost, often acts remarkably tame allowing for close photographs.
Saw-whets have no ear tuffs and are overall a warm brown, with reddish streaks on their chests.
they winter as far south as the Carolinas and to Mexico.

Please comment if you wish.
