Elf Owls are small owls that live in southwestern United States and Mexico. They are only about 6 inches tall, the smallest owl in North America. Elf Owls are brown with white speckles. They like to nest inside old woodpecker holes in sycamores, cottonwoods, and saguaro cacti. Their call is a high-pitched, whistling, whoo-whoo-whoo. Cornell Lab of Ornithology doesn't have a description for this bird, but you can learn more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf_owl
