Northern Saw-whet Owls will sometimes store extra prey in tree cavities or tucked-away branches, creating a small food cache to return to later. This behavior helps them conserve energy and ensures they have a reliable meal during harsh weather or when hunting conditions aren’t ideal
OK, I know you titled this “Cache Me Outside” because of the food caches, but the reference to Danielle Bregoli’s iconic line primed me to expect a somewhat aggressive-looking owl.
I was instead faced with a cutie pie. I’m very pleased.
All owls think they are “all that.” 😄
