I was reading BirdChick's blog this morning. Seeing her photos and reading her stories from south Texas made me salivate. I saw a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl back when I was at the King Ranch as part of a field trip at the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival a few years ago. I'm not sure where my photos of that bird are, but I got more of the same species in February when I was in Guatemala.
