We're so lucky in SE Arizona to be one of the best places to see the world's smallest owl, the tiny but fierce Elf Owl. Weighing in at 40g (1.4oz) and measuring just 12.5 - 14.5cm (4.9 - 5.7in), this little badass eats scorpions!

I got this photo last night in Peña Blanca Canyon, a few miles north of the Mexico border. - at Peña Blanca Lake.
