North American Birds Calls

The Northern Pygmy-Owl is the smallest owl species seen in the northern regions of North America. This tiny owl is found throughout the Rocky Mountains, from northern British Columbia and southward to the southern boundaries of Mexico. The pygmy-owls all have two black spots on the back of their heads and this makes it easy to determine the owl species group.

Reference to Other Bird Site:

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
