Observation details
Originally recorded this as a Boreal Owl, but after chatting with some serious birders (Hilary Turner and Susan Marsh), and looking at low quality iPhone photos, we've come to the consensus that this bird was a Northern Pygmy Owl -- due to a long tail, behavior of perching atop trees, and daytime activity. Spotted the NPOw shadow as it flew behind us. Landed on a branch of a snag, then flew to the top of a nearby lodgepole. Great looks for 5+ min. Small owl. Gray-brown in color (no orange), yellow eyes. Delicate, small beak. Christmas Bird Count bird in the valley! Got some pics, but nothing close ups (only had phone).
