Northern Saw-whet Owl

[Cheryl Peterson <peterso3 at emstar2 dot net>]

This evening as it was getting dark, I saw a saw-whet owl on the south 
airport dike.  It was on the south side of the road shortly before you turn 
left onto the south extension.  I am really bad at giving directions, so I 
tied a piece of green plastic to a bush along the side of the road to help 
others in finding the area.  The owl was directly behind it on top of one 
of the tree stumps.  As I was talking to Milt, it flew and I didn't see 
which direction it went.  I will go out again in the morning to see if I 
can relocate it.  At first, I was excited because I thought it was a pygmy 
owl.  I directed my headlights onto it and then got really excited when I 
discovered it was a saw-whet.
