Northern Pygmy-Owl

April 10, 2015 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

EB2R0277This week’s post focuses on the cutest little owl I have ever seen. I must admit the photographs were not taken around Union Bay, however I think once you see the photos you will understand why I made an exception. While this little owl is cute, it is also a predator.
