Observation details
Observed what I thought was a young buteo in awkward perch on limb due to heat. Wings spread and drooping down each side of limb. Tail was flat on limb top. Bird heard me and moved around tree out of site. Spotted in a pattern that made ID difficult and head was not seen. White patch on shoulder. With the help of Kevin Spencer this turned out to be a Northern Saw-Whet Owl, a life bird for me. White patch on shoulder, round wing tips and size in relation to branches.
