For a Saw-Whet Owl, this is a typical view if you can find them at all. Tucked deep in an evergreen and holding a vole, about the only part of this bird I could focus on was the left side of his face. He only opened his eyes when he was about to eat a vole.

I agree – a pretty typical pic of a Saw Whet. Great job of getting focus
