RE: Saw whet owl leaving eaten mice in my driveway - wouldn't mind the free pest control but my young kids play in the driveway
It looks like a Saw Whet Owl to me. During the day tends to perch in very concealed places, and depends on this for its safety. It just holds still, and can be incredibly tame appearing. Actually they are ferocious hunters for their size. Please consider using #birding for posts like this so we can build a birding community.
I'd be happy to use #birding in the future. If you look at my blog from yesterday, you will find some other bird pictures as well from Cancun that I took. Thanks for the vote of confirmation that I think I identified the owl properly.
Here is a link to that post for a shortcut:
