Observation details

I first noticed this Northern Saw-whet Owl huddled at trunk of a cedar tree . After photographing it for a couple minutes I noticed its behaviour was peculiar. I moved closer to see if it was ok and it was not able to fly away. I was able to capture it with a blanket and took it to Gibson's Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre where it will be cared for. It was suspected that it had a broken left wing.
