He's probably been featured here at some point, but I saw this picture and can't get over the tiny little floofer!!

Perhaps I used the wrong term. I think I meant branching? When they’re leaving the nest by hopping around (but not actually flying.)

Either way, compared to the size of the presumably adult Pygmy owls I’ve seen, this guy isn’t full size. (He still has some downy feathers poking through too.)
