Калифорнийский сыч гном (калифорнийский воробьиный сычик/Northern Pygmy Owl enjoys an elegant meal

Hunting during the middle of the day, Northern Pygmy Owls defy the stereotype of owns as a purely nocturnal predator. These tiny little 6-inch predators can take down prey far larger than themselves! This one obviously enjoyed his meal. Filmed with the Nikon Z9 Nikkor Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S @user-dd1jt6vb8x #Wildlife #Nature #NikonZ9 #Owl #Birding
