The Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) is a very small owl, smaller than the screech owl, and is found in the northern US. They were first discovered in Nova Scotia, which at the time was called Acadia. Their Latin name comes from that association. The name Saw-whet derives from the sound of their call.
They are quite small for owls, approximately 6 1/2 to 8 1/2 inches in length.
Saw-whet Owls are also known as Kirkland's Owl, Acadian Owl, Farmland Owl, Queen Charlotte Owl, The Sawyer, and Little Nightbird.
