Pigmy Owl Home for Christmas
It has been a difficult week to focus on Tucson Real Estate. I’ve been trying for two days (a week) to get the Tucson MLS Statistics report of November posted here. It will wait a couple more days.
If you want to read Tucson MLS Statistics on Christmas Day you might want to consider therapy. I did, it helped, some : )
Anyway, it was this past Sunday afternoon we were walking by this saguaro cactus when Barbara saw something poke it’s head out of a hole near the top. It was just a quick glimpse and as fast as it appeared it was gone. About an hour later we walked by it again and this time the little owl was catching a few rays of sun and not at all concerned that I was pointing a camera and snapping images.
He is unaware of a recession, I’m sure he got a good deal on his saguaro condo. I call it a condo because the owner of the cactus takes care of all maintenance issues with the cactus. He is quite happy to be in his home for the holidays.
I think he has a santa hat (a teeny tiny one) that doubles as a bed at night.
You can see his little eyes at the full size image on Flickr.

After all of the commercialized aspects of Christmas, it was so refreshing to see this photo of the little Pigmy Owl in his “cactus condo!” Your nature photograpy is first rate- right up there with AZ Highways. Thanks for a much needed respite from the endless consumerism that seems to take so much out of us during the holidays.
Your photo brought me back to one of the many reasons we all love Tucson- the beautiful desert and all of it’s bounty. Happy Holidays!
