Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl Glaucidium brasilianum
The famous Ferruginous Pygmy Owl at El Canelo Ranch. A wonderful place, which I highly recommend if you are staying in South Texas. You can take a room there, bird all day long on the ranch and then come home to a gourmet dinner. Pretty sweet.

Also full of rattlesnakes. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your point of view, I never saw one!
