Little Owl In The Big City

Little Owl in the Big City based on the true story of a Northern Saw-Whet owl found in the boughs of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. The tree came from Oneonta, New York, 175 miles away. After being cared for at a wildlife center, the owl was released in a conifer forest in Upstate New York. The Northern Saw-Whet is one of the smallest owls in the United States. It is famous for its nomadic ways; at nesting time, females take care of the eggs while males keep the family well-supplied with food, usually mice and other small rodents. But except for nesting periods, males tend to roam instead of staying in just one place. +
