And just because scale is hard to tell from the photo and I have loved this fact since I learned it, this little friend is just a bit larger than a House Sparrow.
A fearsome mini-raptor! I love them.
Another fun fact is that they are one of the main predators of chickadees. When a chickadee chick-a-dees as a warning call, the number of “dees” can often be preportional to the perceived threat. In one study a chickadee “dee’d” 23 times in the presence of a pygmy owl!

Climate category, first place: The Collapse of Green
‘This drone photography captures the forest fading under the weight of extremes. Floods and droughts have silenced the eucalyptus – some fallen, some standing like ghosts. Green life turns to grey, echoing the slow loss of balance in nature.’

‘A curious young tawny frogmouth keeps a watchful eye on its surroundings.’

Great news, everyone! The owl who fell into a cement mixer is all cleaned up and ready to return to the wild and, perhaps most importantly, makes this facial expression when being fussed at by the humans!

In case you missed it, the excellently cute "Owls in Towels" has a new account on the Fediverse at:
If you were previously following their old account you will need to manually refollow their new account, as their server shut down before they had a chance to transfer properly.
If you don't know the account, when wildlife homes take care of owls they often have to wrap them in towels to stop them flapping about. This makes them look very sweet! 🥰
