Nestled in the forests of Yellowstone National Park, the Northern Pygmy Owl stands out not for its size, but for its mighty spirit. Despite being one of the smallest owls in North America, measuring just 6-7 inches tall, this diminutive raptor is a formidable hunter. With its sharp talons and keen eyesight, it preys on insects, small birds, and even animals as large as itself. Check out its piercing yellow eyes. Filmed February 18th 2024 with my Sony A7R IIIA camera with a Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens.
