It is often considered to be a subspecies of Northern Pygmy Owl.

The Northern Pygmy Owl's stomach is white with black stripes.

It responds readily to the call of the Ferruginous Pygmy Owl.

Most pygmy owl species are nocturnal and hunt mainly large insects and other small prey.

Some experts consider this bird a superspecies with the Mountain Pygmy Owl.

Arrive for the daily display and meet some of the 40 species, from tiny pygmy owls to giant eagle owls.

Meanwhile, a pygmy owl belonging to a friend of Mr. Pye's disappears.

Such plans, like one around Tucson regarding the endangered pygmy owl, have been promoted by the Clinton and Bush administrations.

At the time of appeal, FWS had not yet made a critical habitat designation for the pygmy owl.

"We should spot the ferruginous pygmy owl - imagine an owl the size of a tennis ball .

The call is longer if the predator is a smaller nimble bird like a northern pygmy owl, which is more of a threat.

Several pygmy owls bear "false eyes" on the back of their head to fool predators into believing the owl is alert to their presence.

The Eurasian Pygmy Owl is usually red tinged to a grayish-brown with dots on his/her back.

Glaucidium Linnaeus (pygmy owls)

Glaucidium is also a plant genus in the Buttercup family, Ranunculaceae.

Glaucidium forms a paraphyletic group with Surnia.

Pygmy Owls are members of the genus Glaucidium.

The idea has long persisted that Paeonia belongs in Ranunculales, close to Glaucidium.

Glaucidium castaneum.

Glaucidium may refer to:

It has been widely believed that Paeonia is closest to Glaucidium, and this idea has been followed in some recent works.

The genus Glaucidium was once put in its own family (Glaucidiaceae), but has been recently recognised as a primitive member of Ranunculaceae.

The Albertine Owlet (Glaucidium albertinum) is a species of owl in the Strigidae family.

Glaucidium Linnaeus (pygmy owls)

Bones of an indeterminate Glaucidium have been recovered from Late Pliocene deposits in Poland (Mlíkovský 2002).

PYGMY OWL Glaucidium passerinum.

Maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees created from nucleotide sequencing of the cytochrome b gene demonstrated that Surnia and Glaucidium form a paraphyletic group.

Molecular phylogenetic studies, however, have demonstrated conclusively that Glaucidium belongs in Ranunculaceae, but that Paeonia belongs in the unrelated order Saxifragales.

Numerous species of owl in the genus Glaucidium and the Northern Hawk-Owl have eye patches on the backs of their heads, apparently to convince other birds they are being watched at all times.
