Northern Saw-whet Owl 3D Model

2026-07-16

The Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) is one of our smaller owls. It is a relatively common denizen of forested areas in the province, but is rarely seen because of its nocturnal habits. By day, it roosts silently amongst dense conifers, until it is discovered by other birds at which point a cacophony of mobbing calls may ensue to try to dislodge the predator. One can sometimes entice a pair of saw-whets to stay in the neighbourhood with a nest box. Small mammals, especially deer mice, beware, as you are the owl’s main prey.

This is our first time attempting feathers and we think the little owl turned out pretty cute, but if anyone has advice on how to get feathers (or anything that thin) to work better with photogrammetry, please let us know.
