Prey Preferences Of The Northern Saw-Whet Owl (AEGOLIUS ACADICUS) In The Southern Appalachian Mountains

Saw-whet owls are common throughout much of North America, but only a small, disjunct population exists in the southern Appalachian Mountains. The diet of this owl is well known from some areas of its range, but prey preferences have not yet been addressed; moreover, little research has been done on the isolated southeastern population.
