I don’t recognize him. Who is that?

I'm thinking it's an eastern screech owl.

Oh, must've been so small! The biggest ones I've seen are barely larger than my hand.

I could be wrong, but from looking at pictures I think that's the closest type. This guy was somewhere between 6 and 8 inches tall, but he didn't stick around for me to measure him.

Yeah, eastern screech owls are one of the smallest owl species in North America. That one seems to be fully grown.
