Northern Pygmy Owl – Mighty Sprite
Mighty Sprite
I may be small, but don't be fooled, for in my tiny frame,
I pack a punch compared to some that puts them quite to shame.
I roam the woods and forest breaks while constantly in search
And from atop the highest stands I wait upon my perch.
So when the mousy beasties dash across the open tract
I rocket off my waiting post and there commit the act.
It's swift and sure and if my prey is larger than am I
I have no doubt that I will take it up when I do fly.
