Northern Pygmy-owl


Two days ago, I took a break from my computer and drove over to Fish Creek Park. I was really hoping to see at least a few friends there, as I knew that would help lift my spirits at the moment. Thankfully, several of them were there, watching this tiny Northern Pygmy-owl, which, by the time I got there, was high up in a tree that was surrounded by other tall trees. This was the "best" view I got - distant, fully zoomed, highly cropped, and not in good light. Better than nothing, though, and hopefully I'll get the chance for a better view sometime. The owl flew to several different trees, the rest being far, far away.
It's always such a thrill to see one of these popcan-sized or fist-sized owls. It must be around four years ago that I had great views of this little owl - everyone had missed it/them since then, I believe. Sometime, I'll make a note of when I saw it, just out of interest.
