The Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) is one of North America’s smallest owls, with a round head, oversized yellow eyes, and a reddish-brown body marked with white streaks. Despite their small size, these elusive hunters are skilled at catching prey in the darkness of the forest.
Diet: Primarily mice and other small mammals, including voles and shrews. They occasionally eat small birds and insects.
Habitat: Coniferous and mixed forests, where they roost in dense evergreen foliage during the day and nest in tree cavities, often old woodpecker holes.
Range: Across much of North America, from southern Canada into parts of the United States and Mexico. Many migrate south in autumn, while others remain in the same area year-round.
Northern Saw-whet Owls are mostly active at night and can be remarkably difficult to spot during the day. Their name comes from a distinctive call that was thought to resemble the sound of a saw being sharpened. During autumn migration, these tiny owls travel through forests under the cover of darkness, often passing unnoticed by the people living nearby.
Add a touch of natural beauty to your laptop, water bottle, phone case, car, or any other surface with this waterproof sticker. Featuring a Saw-whet Owl on a white background, this irregularly-shaped, matte laminated sticker is suited for both indoor and outdoor use.
Shipping Details: Your sticker will be carefully packaged and shipped to you in an envelope via First Class USPS mail.
