A very pleasant and unusual year it seems for Saw-whet owls…like other owls their numbers go in cycles as I understand it.
This may very well be an irruption year for them with now three different owls located.
The Saw-whet for the most part migrate from Manitoba but there are some that winter over.
From my recent observations they prefer deer mice as their go to meal…over a regular mouse.
Have to love unusual years like this…since I can’t even buy a Great Gray this winter.
