Peter Baye had a fun sighting recently. He wrote, “An hour before sunset, I saw a small bird that I first thought was a Spotted Towhee from its movements. However, the round head revealed it was a daytime appearance of a Northern Pygmy Owl. It must be fairly hungry after last week’s long rains, since they can’t hunt well with the din of raindrops. It didn’t seem to mind my staring and taking photos.”

I love owls so I was happy to see this photo. Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share it with you here.
