		This is a small owl, and at 19-21 cm length and a 47-54 cm wingspan is not as large as the Little Owl.

		Since owls are night birds, they are difficult to see although their characteristic songs and calls can often be easily heard.
		I enjoy owls (and there is nothing so pleasant as going to sleep on a camping trips to a chorus of owls), but admit to not being much of an "owler." I tend to enjoy a drink after the sun sets, and there are other things to do indoors at night
		Owls of the genus Glaucidium (pygmy-owls and owlets) are primarily crepuscular but can occasional appear in broad daylight to the surprise of all, as did this Northern Pygmy-Owl (below right) that I found sitting on top a telephone pole at mid-morning.

		Galeotti, P. and Sacchi, R. Turnover of territorial Scops Owls Otus scops as estimated by spectrographic analyses of male hoots.
		In order to investigate yearly turnover and site-fidelity of male Scops Owls, the discriminant functions derived from the hoot sample recorded in 1993 were used to classify hoots of individuals recorded in the same territories in 1994.
		The fast decline of our Scops Owl population, probably due to winter mortality, could be responsible for such a high turnover of territorial owners.

	Strix (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The strix or striga (pl. striges; occasionally bastardized to stirge) was an Ancient Roman legendary creature, usually described as a nocturnal bird of ill omen that fed on human flesh and blood, like a vampire.
		The name is Greek in origin and means 'owl', with which bird it is usually identified (the name of the genus Strix follows this meaning).
		The earliest recorded tale of the strix is from the lost Ornithologia of the Greek author Boio, which is partially preserved in Antoninus Liberalis's Metamorphoses.

	The Evolution of Reversed Sexual Dimorphism in Owls: Corrections and further Analyses
		This is obvious for the European Eagle-Owl and at least some of Scherzinger's (1980) observations of Ural Owls could be interpreted as aggression redirected to the mate because of the presence of mated pairs ofconspecifics in nearby aviaries.
		The 13 species of European owls have been sufficiently well-studied to permit a comparison of the degree of RSD in a species with the agility of aerial displays.
		This strongly suggests that the hypothesis of Jehl and Murray (1986) is not a viable expla- nation for the evolution of RSD in owls.

	The Little or Acadian Owl
		The Little Owl is known in Massachusetts by the name of the "Saw-whet," the sound of its love-notes bearing a great resemblance to the noise produced by filing the teeth of a large saw.
		The Little Owl breeds more abundantly near the shores of the Atlantic than in the interior of the country, and is frequent in the swamps of the States of Maryland and New Jersey, during the whole year.
		While watching the Owl, I observed with no little surprise that the sound which I thought came from a distance, as well as that which was near, actually proceeded from the same source.

	Owl Calls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Like most birds owls sing to attract a mate and defend their territories and although perhaps not as musical as the songs of thrushes and warblers, it functions in exactly the same way.
		The noises made by owls include the melodic trills of pygmy owls, the bell like chimes of the European Scops Owl, the classic hoot of the Tawny Owl (and its not so musical shriek) the strangulated screech of the Barn Owl and the deep resonant hoots of Eagle Owls.
		The Flammulated Owl from Western United States is a similar size to the Western Screech Owl, which inhabits the same part of the world, but its territory is much larger and hence it has a loud deep call, more becoming of a much larger bird.
