This diminutive little forest predator is found throughout the U.S. and Canada though rarely seen.  Except for a couple of weeks each spring, when they call for a mate, they are silent.  Nocturnal hunters, they search out mice, voles and large insects by night and rest by day.  Those lucky enough to find a day perch find these small owls to be quite tame, with researchers able to pluck  them from the tree with bare hands for purposes of banding.
