Alex, in the parking lot of a Motel Six in Yuma Arizona
last month, standing in a graded & landscaped cactus garden,
when I went out to the car to get our bags, stood a Pygmy Owl on its pencil legs staring at me as if to say; yeah that's right... I live in a motel parking lot.. what are you going to do about it. I got within two feet of the little guy before he popped back down his hole beside a cholla. I've had an even closer encounter with a young Great
Horned, it hopped on my wrist, but I've never had a conversation like I did with the Pygmy. Owls are the most
human of all birds don't you think?
