"When I discovered that the young of the saw-whet look so different from most young owls, painting them became a must. One would never believe that a young saw-whet one day will look like the adults do. The dark brown head and ochre-beige breast have nothing in common with the final adult plumage. Some scientists say that the strange name 'saw-whet' comes from their call, but some think that is comes from the French pioneers who would always say.'Regarde la une chouette!' ('Look there , an owl!') The English took this over and their accent made it sound like 'saw-whet'. I go along with this second theory." - Carl Brenders
