Milling TC, Rowe MP, Cockerel BL, Dellinger TA, Gailes JB, Hill CE. 1994. Population Densities of Northern Saw-whet Owls in Degraded Boreal Forests of the Southern Appalachians. Biology and Conservation of Owls of the Northern Hemisphere
The authors conclude that the survival of the disjunct population of this species is threatened by habitat loss from human interference, by degradation of high-elevation forests, by global warming, and by acid deposition from air pollution. The species deserves endangered status, rather than the present rating of special concern.
