Two claws cutting the snow in movement, three, maybe four, beats of the wings, wingspan perhaps 12″-14″… so what do you think?
Here’s a closer look.
Wetland in a mixed forest above Lavington, altitude about 4,000 feet. Northern Pygmy Owl hunting, maybe?

If it’s an owl it would likely be boreal (don’t know if you have them in your region), saw whet, or pygmy owl.

Thanks! I have no idea either. Not a huge bird, though.

My neighbour has a pygmy owl hanging around. He takes mice from his mouse traps and three times the owl has eaten “almost from the hand.”
