Closing out 2022 with a Saw-whet

With their beautiful cat-eye eyeliner and diminutive size, I don’t know how an owl could get much cuter. At just over a half a foot tall and only weighing a bit more than an American Robin, Northern Saw-whets are one of the smallest owls in North America. I’ve never seen one of these in real life, but when I actually do, I will likely trip over my own feet, drop my camera, faint, scream, or all of the above.
