From Hope for Wildlife

This tiny Saw-whet owl arrived a week ago after being found on the ground, unable to fly and being harassed by crows. After we examined her we found that she had a bit of an injury to her left eye, so we suspect she flew into a window and ended up being stunned by the impact. She’s still resting up in our ICU.

Did you know that these little owls will store excess food in the niches and hollows of trees and branches, creating a “frozen cache”? When a hunt fails and they get hungry, they will go to their freezer, take some food out, and actually sit on the frozen carcasses to thaw them out in the same way they’d incubate an egg!
