This young-of-the-year owl was photographed in Three Lakes where it was hiding in a shaded balsam tree during daylight hours. Young saw-whets have more coloration than their mature counterparts and a unique strip of white between the eyes. They are extremely nocturnal. —Staff Photo By KURT KRUEGER WATCH FOR THE 22001155 HHEEAADDWWAATTEERRSS AARREEAA GGUUIIDDEE Coming April 2015 Eagle River Eagle Permit No. 13 No. Permit NOTE: To update or add information or to have your PAID U.S. Postage U.S. ECRWSS business represented, call (715) 479-4421.
