[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Adult mice usually are eaten in pieces in two different meals.
The female Northern Saw-whet Owl does the incubation and brooding. The male brings all her food while she is incubating. She leaves the eggs for only one or two short trips each night, to defecate and cough up a pellet.
