Saw-Whet Owl!

holy smokes, i wish this little guy was alive! when i crossed the driveway this morning, a big black crow had this guy in his talons, and dropped him in the driveway. i swooped in and grabbed him away from Mr. Evil Black Bird and he was warm and soft, but totally dead.. one of his eyes looked left and one looked right, i'm pretty sure that's not how he was supposed to look... but maybe.



they are very shy pygmie birds and are not even seen much at all, ever, probably not even by their prey. i'm very excited to have them in the area, and will do whatever i can to get them to move in.. he's so totally cute! let me know if you see any more!
