Well-fed Northern Pygmy-owl
What do I see?
Northern Pygmy-owl with Meadow Vole
Precious
Concentration
How cute can you get?
Looking for its next meal
Every creature has to eat
My sincere thanks
Yesterday's treat
False eyes
A tiny, ferocious hunter
Northern Pygmy-owl pellet
A ferocious hunter, popcan-size
Temporarily puffed after preening
Yesterday's well-earned treat
Touched by the sun
Like finding a needle in a haystack
Irresistibly cute
It's mine!
Way, way up
Just a different perch

Those piercing eyes
Yesterday, 11 January 2015, I called in at Fish Creek Park again for some fresh air and, hopefully, a friend or two. I was lucky with both. It was a Sunday and a lot of photographers had gathered to watch and photograph this tiny, popcan-sized Northern Pygmy-owl.
I was impressed that all the photographers were very respectful of this tiny owl. Mind you, apart from a couple of very brief, low landings in bushes, it stayed perched extremely high in tall trees. Thankfully, it was still within my camera reach and we were all lucky enough to see it perched in a variety of places. Bright blue sky completed the picture, unlike the day before, which had been overcast and gloomy. In this photo, we were treated to a view from the back with its little head turned around - and it was right out in the open, which made a nice change.
It was so good to see so many friends again - lifted my spirits, for which I was so grateful. My thanks to each and every one of them.
