The Harris's Sparrow met its doom
today in the talons of a Northern Pygmy Owl.  Joel got a couple of great
photos, which are posted on our blog along with the story . . .

This was the 7th day that the sparrow had been frequenting our feeders.

The Such boys' nice photos and video vividly show  the small size of these
small owls as the prey is longer than the predator (Sibley lists Harris's
Sparrow at 7.5 inches in length while Northern Pygmy-Owl is shown as only
6.75 inches in length).  If you haven't checked out their blog post on this,
please do as these young men have done not only a great photo/video job but
a nice write-up.
