Elf Owl
Elf Owls are the smallest species of owls in North America, if not the world. They stand a mere 5 3/4 inches high. They range from the Big Bend in TX, to SW NM, thru the southern portion of AZ. We are fortunate to have a breeding pair return to our property each March, nest and fledge young each July. This bird and its mate are two of the most photographed Elf Owls in SE AZ over the past 6 years, as many birders and photographers make a point of booking time at our B&B during the owl’s presence. www.battistebedabdbirds.com

Thank you Lorilee for your comments. Being new to RB, I’ve been quite busy trying to get lots of my favorites out there. I think my Elf owls are my favorite subject being they have returned to our home,their nest site for 6 seasons in a row. They are extremely tolerant of us, allowing close approaches as frequently as we chose. Fro mid March til they depart in July, I probably photograph them 3-4 nights a week.
