The Flammulated Owl is one of the smallest owls in North and Central America. It is smaller than the Pygmy Owls (only slightly larger than a House Sparrow). It migrates down into Central America in the winter and then comes back into North America to nest in the same area the following spring, often in the same exact tree!
