Media notes
Not the best recording in terms of background noise and clarity, but it does the job.
Observation details
Initially heard from over a half mile away and identified to this species. We tracked it to within twenty feet but could not get a visual. Calling from a relatively open forest, predominantly mature aspen but with some spruce mixed in. The elevation was approx. 9300ft, so certainly within range for a saw-whet. Call was a monosyllabic whistled "toot-toot-toot". Monotonous quality, with each call at roughly the same pitch.
