Costa Rican Pygmy-Owl. The Costa Rican Pygmy-Owl is an uncommon and local species that hides all too well in the crowns of massive trees. By merit of its odd appearance, being a monotypic family, and being a pro skulker, any sighting of this special little bird converts a good day of birding into a high quality day of birding.
