We had heard the tooting of the Northern Pygmy Owl in the woods near us in previous winters but had little luck seeing one. This year our luck changed. These small owls are only about 6.5 inches long and perch many in conifer trees. Their main prey are small songbirds and unlike many owls hunt mainly in the day. We watched this bird for quite awhile before they slowly turned their head and gave us a look only an owl can give seemingly saying “hey move along I’m hunting here”.
Chickadee’s of the forest beware.
nature has no boss

The shot you wanted LOL. Nice catch, and great shot. The Barred Owls here hunt during daylight. Makes my life a little easier LOL.
