(Aegolius acadicus)
On a visit to the George C Reifel refuge in British Columbia, Canada, my friend had been told that a Northern Saw-whet Owl might be seen...
We arrived and the warden said, "Have you come for the owl? - He's in that bush over there!".
A small group was on the path and watching this beautiful little owl with interest. Despite the backlight I managed to take a series of pictures and this is one of them.
