Northern Saw-whet Owl - Delta, BC This little owl is no bigger than a softball and winters on the coast in some of the more tangled trees for cover. Saw-whets are prey for Barred and Horned Owls in these parts. I have seen one of these little Saw-whets with a chickadee as breakfast and there is no shortage of those where this guy lives on Westham Island. If you look closely, the rain drops from earlier haven't quite dried yet. Michael W Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com
