Northern Saw-whet Owl in a Park Slope backyard


I received an email tonight from a birding friend who sent me this photo sent to him . The Northern Saw-whet Owl was in an eastern Park Slope backyard today.

Which begs the question: start looking in Prospect Park for any more ?  If you do find one, its best to keep it a secret if you find one somewhere. Owls are highly sensitive to disturbance after traveling great distances, and oftentimes are exhausted and susceptible to sleep deprivation...

Good stuff coming through nowadays.....
