Litchfield Audubon Society Meeting

The Northern Saw-whet Owl
This is the smallest forest owl in eastern North America. In the fall, thousands of them leave their
breeding grounds in southern Canada and the northern U.S. and move south to find food and cover.
Often called migrants, it is more appropriate to refer to them as “nomads” or fall “passage birds,”
since they never end up in the same place twice. Much of their life history remains a mystery. Join
federally licensed raptor bander Larry Fischer as he unravels some of the mystery surrounding the
life history of the Northern Saw-whet Owl. Larry has been banding and watching owls and hawks for
more than 40 years. He is a state and federally licensed bird bander with an emphasis on birds of
prey and is a former president of the Western Connecticut Bird Club.
