Saw-Whet Owl

On a visit to a local animal sanctuary this summer, I discovered this tiny little owl. I had been unaware of this species until my visit. This one is an adult that was injured when hit by a vehicle (you can see the damaged wing). He will spend the rest of his life in captivity. This sanctuary does wonderful work helping animals that have been injured or orphaned.
