Flammulated Owl

A tiny owl with a great big name.

For some reason (to me) the name sounds like an owl with a lot of gas.

About the same size as a Northern Pygmy Owl (6" more of less) they are not easy to spot.

We found this guy by accident while looking for a Saw-Whet Owl.

It started with a friend giving me a tip on the Saw-Whet, followed by a fortunate misunderstanding.

They migrate through and don't stay long, so we were very fortunate to see it.

 

Thanks for stopping by
