A big Thank You to Kathy Prentki for posting on AKBird there was a Northern Saw-whet Owl perched out side her kitchen window. Her gracious offer to: “… share our kitchen window if you need an owl” was irresistible

duc,
The beauty comes at a price. Keep in mind the temperature is near 0 F. (-17C) and there have been a lot more dark stormy days, than cold clear sunny days. Plus a record snow fall in excess of 90 inches. I tried to wall off the road one day last week to get closer to an owl, but sunk below my crotch. I couldn't walk, the snow was just too soft & deep.
