Heya Tweets,

A little while ago we noted the presence of a Northern Pygmy-Owl
in our area who took a House Sparrow from our neighbor's feeder. We
weren't sure if he was a regular resident, and perhaps he still isn't, but
we did see him again yesterday in hot pursuit of a starling. He was
heading towards Circle K...maybe he got a slurpee there; the starling
was a bit faster than he was.
Nifty nifty bird...hope he goes away before the goldfinches come
back, though...:)
