Northern Saw-whet owls are small, brown and white owls with large heads. Even though their name is northern saw-whet owl, they can be found in southern United States, too. They are fairly common, but since they are nocturnal, they are hardly ever seen. Saw-whet owls nest in woodpecker holes, often holes made by Pileated Woodpeckers. Their call is a high, squeaky, ooo-ooo-ooo. If you want to learn more, go here: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Saw-whet_Owl/id
