Not a new, recent sighting! Perhaps not the best angle photographically, but it is so rare for me to have the chance to see and take photos of a tiny NorthernSaw-whet Owl, that I thought I would add this one to my Birds of Alberta set. Taken on January 26, at Carburn Park. Had my camera fully zoomed for this one : ) Just love those facial feathers. Most of the time, it was asleep, but it did open its eyes briefly a couple of times. This tiny owl hasn't been seen for weeks now - I wonder if it's stil in the area and just wisely hiding from all the endless photographers.
