This is the Saw Whet Owl that Beth found walking down a Manhattan street the other day. Originally we thought it was a baby owl, but based on the info here, it seems that Saw Whet Owls are this size when they are fully grown.
This is from Howard Stern.
On his show he talked all about this Saw-whet and how beautiful it is. The Owl is with a rehab person in NY. I do hope it will be able to go back to the wild and Howard and Beth can be part of this birds release
