Perched atop a snow-covered tree on a bitter January morning in Alberta, a northern pygmy owl fixes me with a fierce, unblinking stare. Fluffed against the cold and looking every bit as tough as the weather, it peers slightly downward from its lofty perch, framed by a cloudless blue winter sky. A tiny owl, holding its ground against a very big winter. Captured: January 5, 2025
