Hi all,
I just returned from the park where Will and Jan Risser and I saw a
serenely perched N. Pygmy Owl as s/he was being mobbed by kinglets,
chickdees and nuthatches.
For This Park, this species is indeed rare. I've detected precisely one
other individual a number of years ago, also in the fall.
Who knows how long it will remain on this perch but if som local quite
familiar and intent on adding to his/her park list beat feet up there this
map (hopefully) shows the location:

It was probably 30-40 feet up and perched 12 feet from the trunk.
good birding,
Tom
