Elf Owl
In the Davis Mountains, Texas.
According to allaboutbirds.org this is the smallest raptor in the world, about the size of a juice box, or a robin. It was nesting in a dead yucca stalk, about 20-feet from a hot tub that I was enjoying. It's perching on a cable holding several bird feeders, seemingly unbothered by the humans near its nest.
