Northern Pygmy Owl


I went to take pictures of interesting blue clouds over Kootenay Lake, B.C. and instead found this wonderful little Northern Pygmy Owl!  He sat on the electrical wire while I took his picture.  Sometimes he looked up as if to ask – “you still here?  I’m busy looking for lunch!”

He was no more than 6 inches tall and I was so pleased to see him and get these photos!

Here’s a link for more information on these little owls:  Northern Pygmy Owl
