YAY! I finally saw a Northern Pygmy Owl! He put on quite the show for us! We spotted him on a fence post and quickly pulled over.

I was just four feet away when I took these shots. He offered to share with us, but we declined. My friend could hear the grub pop and the gross slimy sounds while the owl ate it. :lol: Northern Pygmy Owl eating a grub. by WeatheredFeather, on Flickr Yummy grub for a Northern Pygmy Owl. by WeatheredFeather, on Flickr Northern Pygmy Owl finishing his grub. by WeatheredFeather, on Flickr It seemed to be the day for bugs, we had caught this Pacific Wren with lunch as well...
