This little guy is named after the sound he makes and I found him at the Holderness Nature Center in central NH this past summer. He could be sharper, I know, but there were children around him at the time and this has been cropped in quite a bit. I wasn't about to disrupt their enjoyment!! The glove I left to show you just how tiny he really is!!

Wow. We just watched a program yesterday that featured owls; including this little guy they had with them. Like Donna said, it is just so cute. Here is a short snippet on the guy (Click here). I found it fascinating that they don't move their eyes, which is why their heads rotate so much. Excellent 'Lil PJ. I gotta keep this one and send it to my wife as well. :)

He is so kuuuuwt. Hard to think of him as a predator but despite his size he looks the part. Cool shot for all us animal lovers. Thanks PJ.

Oh, whet a little darling, PJ! He's more head than body! (Come to think of it, human babies are too). lol I'm so glad you posted him.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

What a very personable,little owl,PJ. The picture tells all it needs to and the absolute quality is not as important as the story.

Thank goodness for nature centers like the one at Holderness. This is something we city dwellers would never see otherwise. It is an excellent reminder of our stewardship responsibilities to our little blue marble. Thanks for sharing. Focus looks dead on, just a little camera motion from being forced into a lower shutter speed. When you do the best with what you have, what else is there? Very well done, PJ

That's indeed a little one PJ. Without keeping the glove in this image, would have had a complete different impression about its size. Nice and cute image.

What a sweet little Owl apparently the female is larger, and when they catch a mouse they must break it into two, and usually just eat the head. :D
Thanx 4 sharing

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. (Henry David Thoreau)
Did he turn his head all the way around for you? I swear their heads are on a swivel. He looks pretty wise for such a little tyke. You captured him just right and I'm glad you left hand in for perspective. Very nice PJ.

A beautiful little oool - one of my children called them oools and so now I always do lol.
A beautiful post PJ, nicely blurred background and such a sweet expression caught. I think you were right to leave the glove - certainly makes us realise how tiny this creature is.

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.
Great, he is so cute. A fantastic friend who can impressed children. I love this kind of image.

Cute little predator! I love owls. I used to go hiking at night in the mountains above Santa Barbara looking for owls and other night critters. I've spotted some small owls before, but nothing this small. Nice capture, thanks for sharing.

Never knew they could be that small. He's barely bigger than a mouse! What does he prey on?
