Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium brasilianum)

I would never have found this tiny owl in that forest if it weren't for a big group little birds desperately and loudly trying to push this little fellow away.

Fantastic little predators that can even take down birds 3 or 4 times it's size.

I could sometimes hear one far away but never got a look at it. This was the first time I saw one and photographed it.
I was very happy.
