This Life Sized Open-winged Saw-whet Owl carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The Northern Saw-whet Owl is reddish-brown above and white below with reddish streaks. The bill is dark and the facial disks are reddish. The Juvenile is strongly reddish above and tawny-rust below. The call, heard primarily in the breeding season from late Winter to late Spring, is a monotonously repeated single-note whistle; another, raspy call sounds like a saw being sharpened.
