Cuban Pygmy-owl - Santo Tomas, CU
Some owls are daytime hunters and this Cuban Pygmy-Owl is one of them. They are for certain some of the mast amazing little raptors, but there is no doubt, they are proficient hunters. This particular bird was on the the road into Santo Tomas from Playa Larga in the Zapata Swamp. Adrian Cobas was our guide for this trip rounding out a amazing number of endemic species for Cuba and the Zapata "ring."
