"I saw it!"
"Saw what?"
"A saw-whet!"
"Say what???"
That's right, I saw it! The northern saw-whet owl. At 7-8 inches in height and weighing less then 4 ounces, it is one of the smallest owls in North America and we are on the northern edge of its range here in Southcentral Alaska. In fact, saw-whets just started showing up in this area within the past 10 years. They are elusive little creatures and mostly nocturnal.
Have a great Memorial Day out there and enjoy this last day of the holiday weekend!
