This is a Northern Saw-whet Owl that we admitted recently. She has a mild concussion, which is keeping her from flying, but other than that she’s totally fine. Northern Saw-whet Owls are one of the most common owl species in North America, living throughout the United States and into the Southern edges of Canada. They often roost in thick vegetation both in and near the trunks of tall trees. Their main prey item is mice, although they will also eat other small mammals and birds. This little one is already looking better than when she came in, and should be ready for release within the next couple of weeks.
