WINNER: SAW WHET OWL 56-27
Saw Whet Owls are one of the smallest of the North American owls. Their names comes from their vocalization, which is says to sound like sharpening a saw blade. They come mainly from deep coniferous forests, far away from people. We usually only encounter them during their annual migration, when they are banded and studied. This is a very adorable little owl, and it comes in many colors and patterns.
The Ural Owl is quite the opposite to the Saw Whet. This large owl comes from northern Europe and Russia. Unlike the large excited eyes of the Saw Whet, the Ural Owl usually looks half asleep. While Ural Owls also typically don’t live near people, they do not appear as shy as the Saw Whet, and are fairly easy to approach.

I agree! They are so little, yet fluffy. I liked in the one owl banding video I posted before they were transporting them to the work area in old tomato paste cans.
