Remember hearing one....while hiking on the PCT in western WA.
I believe their call is more higher-pitched
than the Spotted or Great Horned.

Re: Remember hearing one..Not sure if this will work ~ a link to a site with the audio of the Northern Saw Whet Owls call... http://www.owlpages.com/sounds/Aegolius-acadicus-1.mp3

Really good photo.That guy's eyes are fantastic. I love seeing owls. Almost never see 'em around here during the day, though.
:(

Re: Really good photo.My occupation as a wildland firefighter has allowed me to see a number of owls in the daylight, admittedly not their favorite time of day.

Re: Really good photo.Back when I fought fires, I wasn't really
paying attention to the sights and sounds around me.
Besides, all the protective gear I was wearing was preventing me from doing (or seeing) anything but my immediate job's surroundings - (that was) to
hopefully quell the fire.
But, on my days off, it was a different story.. THANKS for the link!

Re: Really good photo.My 'fire district' spans the mountainous Okanogan Highlands south of the Canadian Border. Over one million acres, sparsely populated. As a commanding officer I travel the district extensively, often encountering wildlife. Its one of the benefits of the job.

Re: Really good photo.I can completely understand..
It's an added bonus to have an "office"
that spans over one million acres.
Happy Holidays to you..
Please click for the call of this owl.
