Observation details
Many thanks to Mark Luscombe for posting this bird earlier today. I have hoped to find a Northern Saw-whet Owl for a long time and was happy to finally see one. It was in a small tree with much squirrel activity along a park path frequented by dog walkers, so it paid little attention as I took a few photos from the path with a long lens. It was still roosting on the same perch when I passed by again about an hour later.
