I walked the length of Cachuma Campground in hopes of some migrants, little there except a single Black-headed Grosbeak. Walking along I heard the chatter then a few soft toots of a Northern Pygmy Owl but couldn't find the bird. On the way back down I heard it again and saw the bird sitting in plain sight, a second bird then settled in nearby. I sat and watched for a while, one bird would give the chatter and a few toots every so often while the other snacked on the lizard it had captured. Both birds were still perched close together when I left. I assume they were a mated pair. Looks at my flickr if interested:
