Northern Saw-whet
Owls inhabit
coniferous and deciduous forests, with
thickets of second-growth or shrubs. They
occur mainly in forests with deciduous
trees, where woodpeckers create cavities
for nest sites. Northern Saw-whet Owls
nest in old woodpecker cavities,
(primarily those made by Northern
Flickers or Hairy Woodpeckers) or in
natural cavities. They will also take to
nest boxes quite readily. Nest trees are
often dead and nest heights average 13 to
20 feet above ground. Nesting occurs
between March and July. Our Saw-whet Owl
House provides a perfect cavity for these
small owls and comes complete with wood
shavings for nesting material. Optional
Slate Squirrel Guard available to provide
extra protection from squirrels that like
to enlarge the entrance hole and occupy a
bird house. |
