Your observation is very interesting as I have reports of a Saw whet flying
into an Architects Office just above your location (by the City musuem)
earlier in the month.

The last time I was at Reiffel island there were three saw whets and I've
heard reports as high as five-including one tranisent Boreal owl.

There are resident Western Screech Owls in the Columbia neibhorhood and your
size esitmate though rough would make me think about western Screech in
prefernance to Saw Whet, But it was night and the bird was moving.
