A friend of mine in graduate school, an ornithologist, had 3 sawwhet owl rescues that couldn't be returned to the wild. They lived on her back porch and lived on birds that died in mist nets. I have to tell you, they are not tidy pets... Now, if you had some great-horned owls around they could probably take care of that flying squirrel problem you've got...spotted owls love them. Low and slow, they call them...
Some of my sketches of recent visitors out my window.
Initially I thought it was a flying squirrel perched near the feeder until I cast my desk lamp out the window. Now that was a surprise!
hee hee... love them sawwhets...

So many unique animals - so little time...
