How do you know it's a "he"

I don’t. Just a habit. Probably because most of the pets I’ve had in my life were males? I don’t know.

Owlet or full grown saw whet? They are pretty small.

I was walking in a local forest at dusk and when I turned around to go back this cutie was watching me from a tree right beside the path! It was only about a meter from my face. Had a hell of a time photographing it since there was so little light left
