July 2000 This
juvenile Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl has not yet developed its distinctive
adult white markings (i.e. head and forehead streaking) that help to
differentiate it from the Northern Pygmy-Owl. The light
brown or orangey brown tail barring, although, positively identify and
distinguish the owl (Northern Pygmy-Owls have white tail barring).
