Northern Pygmy Owl 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.
