Northern Pygmy-Owl

Glaucidium gnoma - A small, common, tame, long-tailed owl of coniferous and deciduous woods. Partly diurnal. No other small "earless" owl has blackish-streaked flanks. Entire tail extends beyond the wing tips and is usually cocked at an angle. Flight is undulating like a shrike's with rapid wing beats. Black patch at the side of its hind neck separates it from all owls but the rust-colored Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. Song is an accelerating short series like Wrentit's followed by 2 or 3 singles.
