Jason Furtney and I observed a Northern Saw-Whet Owl at Carver Park yesterday while out for the Excelsior CBC. Jason found it about 8-9 feet up in a juniper tree on the west side of Lake Auburn, roosting under tangle of branches. A real treat (and lifer) for both of us. From the records I have (1987-2006) it looks like Saw-Whets have been seen previously in the Excelsior count in 1994, 1995 and 1999. Thanks to Mary for organizing the Carver count.
