Although Northern Pygmy Owls are not that rare, and likely live in our area, seeing one is not ever certain. They are very small, Mike, smaller than the famous Saw Whet from Rockefeller center Xmas tree. They are between an English sparrow and a bluebird in comparison, lots smaller than a Robin. I would think closest to a fat Song Sparrow..a ball of fluff with a poking out tail..
one of my favorites..
