Well-fed Northern Pygmy-owl


Yesterday, 10 January 2015, I called in at Fish Creek Park for some fresh air and, hopefully, a friend or two. I was lucky with both. Several photographers had gathered to watch and photograph this tiny, popcan-sized Northern Pygmy-owl. We had seen it fly down to the ground and catch a Meadow Vole, and you can see a tiny bit of its snack on its beak.
This shot is an improvement on the one I posted yesterday, but I'm still hoping to get the chance for some photos with a nice, clear background. You can see how well this owl blends in with its surroundings.
