Northern Saw-whet Owl - [Click to see larger] Northern Saw-whet Owl, Ida Grove, IA. On my way home from NW Missouri a couple of weeks ago I drove through Ida Grove and called my friend Don P. who is an owl whisperer (my description). He has a knack for finding Saw-whet Owls. But to be fair he works very hard at it, out every morning in Moorehead Pioneer Park and surrounding areas peeking in every likely tree to see where one may have roosted today. Sometimes it takes hours to find one, and sometimes he doesn't. It is great that he is willing to share his expertise and passion to help others get a glimpse of one of these cute little 8" tall owls. They are migratory and usually are only found in Iowa in the Winter. Soon they will be heading north to their nesting areas in southern Canada and the northern and western United States.
