Brutal Cold kills Owl

Two mornings ago around dawn, I spotted a small puffed out bird perched on my chain link fence.

It was about the size of a dove, but not the shape.

I could tell he was cold, but an hour later, he was gone.

This morning I went out to fill my feeders, and found a very small Owl against my shed, and he was dead.

I didn't realize Owls came this small and I can't help but feel sad for him.

Can you identify him for me? His wing span is about 8" as pictured.

Thank you for writing to us. I can't identify this poor little Owl, but perhaps one of our readers can.
