My pause for thought came when I found a Stygian Owl in a city park in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Despite his limited English and my non-existent Portuguese, Renato managed to communicate that there was an owl close by. The Portuguese believed that the owl was a portent for bad luck and despised them. Then came the bombshell.

I remember seeing a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl sitting on our fencepost just after sunset when I was not even ten. I enjoyed its close pass without even raising my camera, simply thrilled to be alive and a part of their lives. I’ve always birded from home for as long as I can remember.

But just a 10-minute tap on the snooze button and they not only missed out on all that hot mating action, they were often cuckolded and left raising the offspring of the early risers. Do night owls or early birds seem to get more play? I wonder how this applies to humans, though.

If you cannot find the nest or it’s too destroyed, do not try and raise a chick this young. It’s illegal to raise wild birds (even orphaned ones) without state and federal permits. Owls are a little different. They don’t build nests and some like Great Horned Owls take over old hawk or squirrel nests.

While having somebody else raise your chicks like an attractive strategy to me, it is not without dangers. Not only does this species directly parasitize other species but also metaphorically, by imitating the sparrowhawks in its appearance and thus deterring potential predators.
