About These Birds
Baja Pygmy-owl
The Baja Pygmy-owl is a small owl endemic to the mountains of Baja California Sur, Mexico, weighing about 57.5g with a wingspan of 17.7cm. Like other pygmy-owls it is often active during daylight hours and hunts small birds, lizards, and insects. Its restricted mountain range makes it sensitive to habitat disturbance.
African Scops-owl
The African Scops-owl is a small, cryptically patterned owl with a wingspan of about 26 cm and a weight near 88 g. It roosts by day pressed against tree bark, blending in perfectly, and calls at night with a repetitive, monotone whistle across African savannas and woodlands.
