This Mini Saw-Whet Owl carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The Northern Saw-whet Owls inhabit dense coniferous or mixed forests, wooded swamps, and tamarack bogs. They are very rare over most of the winter range. A distinctive sub-species, brooksi, endemic to Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, is much darker and buffier on the facial disks and belly.
