They are strictly nocturnal, and at night these miniature owls become winged terrors, swooping down on their prey from a low perch along the forest edge. Deer mice, shrews and voles are all on the menu, but saw-whet owls will supplement their diet with beetles, grasshoppers, moths and bugs. Daylight hours are for sleeping, and these owls keep well hidden from view, perched motionless in thick vegetation. They are usually found close to the trunk of a conifer tree, about 3 metres off the ground. Their plumage provides excellent camouflage, and if threatened, they \u201cfreeze\u201d in order to appear like a branch or bump.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udde1\ud83e\udd89 #owlsintowels<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original post &#8211; 04 Oct 2021 by Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation, Madden, Alberta Website | Instagram | Facebook DONATE to AIWC Only around the size of an adult human\u2019s fist, saw-whet owls possess excellent hearing and low light vision.
