Great find Paul.
Right on time for these little ones..
I love the perch for this one, right out in the open and supercute the way it is straddling that branch. Like he thought it would hold him but couldn't. Looking at you like he might be a bit upset you caught him in such a non flattering way with a stick up his butt.

Hi there.  Great pic of the Northern Saw-Whet Owl.   I live in Toronto,  and this past Friday, my wife and I came upon an adult Saw-Whet Owl in one of the cities northern parks.  This was the first time as birders that we had ever seen a Saw-Whet Owl.  What a lucky day!  Fortunately, we had our camera with us and got some good pictures and video.  We have posted them for anyone interested at:   http://frametoframe.ca/photo-essay-nort ... l-sighting (http://frametoframe.ca/photo-essay-northern-saw-whet-owl-sighting)
