This is a late post and I don't have an exact location but thought folks 
might be interested (and envious).

A friend of mine- not a birder -  who lives in Takoma Park was sitting 
at her computer one evening last week when a Saw-whet owl landed on her 
windowsill and the two of them sat there looking at each other for 4 or 
5 minutes.  She got on-line and looked up owls and is very certain it 
was a saw-whet and after talking with her I think she is correct.  Now 
how is that for a yard bird sighting. 

I told her she should look for a daytime roost site in the neighborhood 
but have not heard anything from her.
