Tiny, almost sparrow-sized, owl of coniferous and mixed forests. Note staring golden eyes, white eyebrows, and fine pale spotting on the crown. Most active around dusk and dawn, but can be seen hunting in the daytime as well. Sometimes perches atop conifers, but more often rather inconspicuous; can be quite bold when encountered. Song is a varied series of whistled toots, usually given around dawn and dusk and easily imitated.

Couple of weeks ago, while out in the forest behind our house, i heard a familiar whistle. I had heard this sound only trying to learn birds by their song. So i took my phone and played once the female pygmy owl call. And there it was! First owl i get to see and photograph!
