Jim didn't mention where to look during the day.  Try anywhere.  Close to the trunk, on the tip of a branch, high, low, trees, vines, bushes.........

The "scream" response by a Saw-whet is quite un-owllike.  If anyone has a web-site with this call, please post it.  Other noises include a "twitter" and bill-clacking.
