"Marshmallow"

Description

This Northern Pygmy-Owl has been on my bucket list for four year and it was this fall I had an encounter with one, on a back road in mid November I was looking for something to photograph. I came upon a small slue with a large cotton in the middle of it, I knew instantly what I was looking at. Made a big circle around it and sat down, it was not long before I found it perched in a Ponderosa Pine right in for of me. It sat there for about twenty minutes and then flew to the next tree , I left with some great photographs and have seen it several times after in the same cottonwood in the middle of the pond.
