Very small owl, active during the day, I actually saw this owl chasing a pigeon much bigger than the owl itself.

Algo interesante de este búho es que es activo también durante el día ..
La mayoría del grupo son parecidos

So cute! These little guys really do pack a punch!! We get the Northern Pyg here and it's known to take down flickers!! Fantastic capture! I'd love you to add this to the mission Raptors of North America (Caribbean too!): http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...

Thanks for the comments...
Beautiful!
Wonderful capture!
Beautiful picture, Jonathan!
Sure... it is their nature, and pigeons are easy prey for them...
It reminds me that a Screech owl in Virginia at my dughter's was catching her son's pigeons!
