Tiny But Fierce

Don’t let his size fool you—this pygmy owl is a ferocious hunter!

It was a frosty winter day when I went out for a hike in nearby North Vancouver with my wife Michelle and sister in-law Shannon. The fog was really thick and we were questioning whether we should go for coffee instead of walking around outside in the cold.

When we hike, we usually look for birds and wildlife, but with the thick fog the odds of spotting any birds weren’t great.
