Ferruginous Pygmy Ow
I had the recent pleasure to spend some time on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca , Mexico....a daily walk in a park near to my hotel yielded a load of new and wonderful bird species. Including this VERY TINY Pygmy Owl...even better , it was nesting in a cavity of a palm tree , and it showed itself quite willingly. My first time seeing and photographing this tiny tropical version of its cousin the Northern Pygmy Owl. I spent a few minutes with it, observed it moving about the park , barely able to see it when it landed on various perches! This little owl measures maybe 6 inches in length and weighs very little!!! Amazing little one isnt it!!!
