Walt Rush found this little owl on his deck in Irish Beach - a Northern Pygmy-Owl.
I love these little owls. They can be seen in the daytime hours hunting small birds. Their calls are interesting, a slow, measured hoot. You can hear it for yourself at this link at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Pygmy-Owl/sounds
Thanks to Walt for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Lots of clouds from a tropical disturbance to the south. Maybe some rain tonight? But, please, no dry lightning!
