Pygmy in light rain.

At this poin the polite thing to do was introduce ourselves
Pygmy Yoga
The routine was a little upward wing stretch, tail fan, neck rotation, finishing with a full body shake and feather fluff up. Moments like this make me so very glad I am a wildlife photographer :)
Cute as a bug
The Pygmy Owl was doing a little fluff up, shedding a few rain drops.
Bird Watching
The Pygmy was very interested in the chipping noise Juncos make when they sound the alarm. No birds were injured during this shoot much to the Pygmy's disappointment.
Heaven Sent...
is what I was thinking during this shoot. I moved around, stood on stumps, rocks, got caught in thorn bushes and still it hardly paid any attention to me, not the least bit frightened.
