Valentine’s Day Owl
Northern Saw-whet Owl Aegolius acadicus, Seaside Farm, Homer, 14 February 2010.
There have been quite a few reports of Saw-whet Owl from Homer this winter, many coming from Seaside Farm. This bird was quietly sleeping in a spruce tree in the middle of the day. Unlike the Saw-whets seen at Seaside Farm earlier in the winter, this bird was sitting in the open on the lower branches of the tree and we spotted it from a distance of 50 yards or more.
