Cape pygmy owl
The cape pygmy owl or Baja pygmy owl (''Glaucidium gnoma hoskinsii'') is a subspecies of northern pygmy owl restricted to the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. Although some taxonomists consider it to be a distinct species, many authorities do not consider it separate.
==Description==
It is 15 to 16.5 cm
or 17 cm (6 to 7 inches) long and weighs 50 to 65 grams (1.8–2.3 oz). Its plumage is sandy gray-brown, with females typically more reddish than males. Unlike many related owls, it does not seem to have gray and red morphs. The adult's crown and back have many pale spots, which are biggest on the scapular feathers (where the wings join the back). The tail is long for an owl and is crossed by five or six pale bars. The underparts are off-white with brown streaks. The face shows little contrast except for white "false eyebrows". Like other pygmy owls (''Glaucidium''), it has yellow irises and a yellow bill, as well as two white-outlined black triangles on the back on the neck that suggest eyespots.〔
The commonly heard call is distinctly different from that of other pygmy owls in the region: a ''hoo hoo'' lasting about two seconds, with five to fifteen seconds between double hoots. This species occasionally begins a bout of hooting with up to five hoots in series. It may also utter "a rapid, slightly quavering ''huhuhu…''" that may lead to hooting.〔
