You might remember me - I visited form UK back in March 2010 to see the Owls. This is just great :)

@livingroofs Hey Dusty! Glad you enjoyed this video. Your writeup about our rainy day in search of pygmy-owls is one of the kindest things ever written about me...and I take great pleasure in rereading it! I still think your own name is a great synonym for the perimeter of an ecoroof. Perhaps that is what has made you so successful in that arena. Cheers!

I live in Ketchikan, Alaska and have seen quite a few of these owls. This is an incredible video. I recently posted "Problem solving Steller's Jay", If you are a birder I think you would enjoy it.

This is awesome footage! I love these little owls! I never noticed the tail flicking before. I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm out visiting OR. Thank you so much!
