Pigmy Owl in Town
Online Full Text
The capture of a pygmy owl (Glaucidium gnoma) in the streets of American Fork, Utah, a few days ago excited some interest but was not the first occasion of its kind. Two or three years ago I had one similiarly caught (by a boy with his hands) and on dissection I found it literally gorged with English sparrows. I have never discovered a nest of these owls but the bird is not uncommon among us in winter and is attracted in town by the most natural thing in the world--its food.
