Our spooky birdsongs series continues today with the Northern Saw-whet Owl. We have to admit that this tooting call is probably only spooky to mice and other small animals that might become dinner! | American Bird Conservancy

Tito, a Northern Saw-whet Owl and Raptor-in-Residence here at the Alaska Raptor Center, is our smallest resident, weighing only 82 grams! Northern Saw-whet Owls are small, nocturnal, and can be difficult to spot. During the day, they roost in dense vegetation, typically just above eye level and near the trunk in evergreen trees. | Alaska Raptor Center
