So cute, so deadly: Northern Saw-whet Owl

The Warblers by Birds Canada

By size, shape and style, you might mistake this owl for a cuddly toy, but it's actually a deadly predator. In today's episode we chat about the Northern Saw-whet Owl - their adaptations, how to identify them by sound, how banding operations are helping to track their populations, and how you could get involved!
Happy Superb Owl day! #superbowl
