We spotted this Nothern Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium gnoma) in the lower Skokomish Valley of the Olympic Peninsula a few weeks ago. It was sitting on a branch during the afternoon just about 10 feet off of the trail. We stood and watched for a while before we could figure out it was an owl. Mostly the size threw us off, it was only about 5 inches tall. It has markings on the back of it's head which look like angry eyes, but are not visible in the picture. This is a cropped picture, with no additional photo editing.
