    How The Peregrine Fund is Helping

    Though The Peregrine Fund doesn't work directly with Northern Pygmy-owls, our efforts in scientific research, habitat conservation, education, and community development help conserve birds of prey around the world.

    We also supply literature to researchers from our avian research library, which helps scientists around the world gather and share important information on raptor conservation.

    Where They Live

    The Northern Pygmy-owl is found in western North America from Canada, through the USA and into Mexico, usually between 3,000 and 10,000 feet (950 - 3,000 m) above sea level.

    This very small owl lives in a number of different habitats including temperate and tropical moist forest,  wetlands, savannas and open woodlands, most often near open areas including meadows or swamps.

    It is known to nest and hunt in dense forests, frequently near streams.

    What They Do

    The Northern Pygmy-owl is a tiny owl that grows no more than 7 inches in size and weighs only about 2 ounces.
