That tiny gorgeous beauty was sitting on a pine and enjoying the warmer rays of Sun. With the temperatures dipping into almost freezing it was worth every second of seeing her. This tiny owl maybe small in size but she actually gave me the biggest thrill of any lifer so far.
"BASIC DESCRIPTION
A tiny owl with a catlike face, oversized head, and bright yellow eyes, the Northern Saw-whet Owl is practically bursting with attitude. Where mice and other small mammals are concerned this fierce, silent owl is anything but cute. One of the most common owls in forests across northern North America (and across the U.S. in winter), saw-whets are highly nocturnal and seldom seen. Their high-pitched too-too-too call is a common evening sound in evergreen mountain forests from January through May.
MEASUREMENTS

Length: 7.1-8.3 in (18-21 cm)
Weight: 2.3-5.3 oz (65-151 g)

Thank you for all views, faves, and comments.
Saw a Buzzard flying much lower than usual at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham. Quickly it came down and rested on a post. I watched it for a while and took shots of it on the post and also flying off and back onto it. An incredible few moments being much closer to one of these beauties than ever before!

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites, awards and favs...it is always appreciated.
Happy Friday
Although I posted one of these beautiful Northern Saw Whet owls about a month ago I found another interesting shot. These owls are only the size of a large Robin.
NOTICE: If you look closely at the eyes you will see ice crystals on its brows. Then if you look at lower left of its body near tree you will see it is saving a vole for his afternoon snack... the vole's leg is sticking out.
Ten years ago I saw them jump ditches for the first time in the Eempolders, I couldn't believe my eyes, but I was able to take a picture of it that you can see here (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/17051018457/in/album-...). I wasn't completely satisfied with the quality, my camera at the time couldn't do much better either, but since then I have made several failed attempts to achieve a better result.
Until about 4 weeks ago in the same Eempolders I saw a bunch of hormone-addled hares running after each other very close by. As everyone probably knows, you are a bit less careful under the influence of such aphrodisiacs, and you forget to look around you. So several ditches were jumped, and unfortunately I missed all the opportunities (I thought) because too far, wrong light, too late etc. etc.
But eventually one hare came strolling back and then I was in the right place, camera ready.
And when you see them jump you have to laugh. They are like springs, from a standing position they effortlessly jump over a ditch of about 4 meters wide. At a comparable size, Armand Duplantis would pale if a hare were allowed to participate. From a standing position over the obstacle, without a pole, and effortlessly jumping 8 meters high. Bob Beamon would not even put on his shoes anymore. If a hare participates, it jumps at full speed over the sand pit and probably ends up in the water pit of the steeple chase.
The title might be a little bit strange, but older people might know what I am referring to.

During the trip to Brazil this was the only time I saw the heron. It was at the edge of the river mostly behind low hanging branches.
The striated heron (Butorides striata) also known as mangrove heron, little heron or green-backed heron, is a small heron. Striated herons are mostly non-migratory and noted for some interesting behavioral traits. Their breeding habitat is small wetlands in the Old World tropics from west Africa to Japan and Australia.
This bird was long considered to be conspecific with the closely related North American species, the green heron, which is now usually separated as B. virescens, as well as the lava heron of the Galápagos Islands (now B. sundevalli, but often included in B. striata, e.g. by BirdLife International; collectively they were called "green-backed herons". – Wikipedia
Saw very few grass-topped roofs while traveling in Scandinavia, but had a great view of this one from our hotel room in Lillehammer, Norway. Not only was this city the site of the 1994 Winter Olympics, but the surrounding area was incredibly beautiful with dense forests and rolling mountains. Lillehammer is located on the largest lake in the country, Lake Mjosa, making for picturesque views in every direction. This totally came to mind for the "Smile on Saturday!" group challenge "Begins with G" for both the grass roof topping and the grass mowing goat! Had to share a similar shot, taken in Door County, Wisconsin, which most certainly has a Scandinavian vibe to it: flic.kr/p/2mfjHsX .
Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus)
The Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) is a small owl native to North America. Saw-whet Owls are one of the smallest owl species in North America. They can be found in dense thickets or conifers, often at eye level, although they can be found around 20 feet up. Saw-whets are often in danger of being preyed upon by larger owls and raptors. Saw-whet Owls are also migratory birds without any strict pattern.

Found this little guy tucked in high in some red cedars. I've spent hours looking for Saw-whets over the years and it's always a nice surprise when you finally find one.
This black phoebe was perched on one of the sticks in the lake, when it spotted something in the water worth flying about.
Thanks for having a look at the MacArthur railroad bridge. It spans the Mississippi River between St. Louis, MO and Illinois, USA. This was captured on the St. Louis side of the river.
(Aegolius acadicus)
By my bird book, this small owl (8 inches) should be well south of Winnipeg by this time of the year. During the summer it tends to hang-out in northern conifer forest. It likes dense cover and no matter how I repositioned myself, I simply couln't get a totally clear shot of it without some branch in the way.
Hello there! I hope all is well my friends! I am here today featuring :Haikei: at Kustom9 Event with HAI.K /SWEETTIME/ FATPACK! The set is brand new and I decorated a bedroom space in the home that comes with the fatpack. The main piece in this room is the bed. There is 2 bed options. One is purple and one is pink. As you can see I went with the pink option. I had fun making this the ultimate pink bedroom space. It's nice having extra colors in there for a big pop of color throughout this room space. I was just in a fun mood and made it reflect in this bedroom space! This is what I came up with! Full details are on the blog. Feel free to have a look! Thank you so much for the support my friends and have a blessed week ahead! xoxo <3333 Ebony

It was a good migration day on my property on Saturday until I saw this bird in the woods in the afternoon . This Woodcock was a so-called "lifer" which I had sought unsuccessfully for 11 years and was at the top of my provincial most-wanted list.
Aaron Tremper of Audubon Magazine described them well:
American Woodcocks are perhaps the most memeable birds
on the continent. With their cartoonish looks and quirky
behaviors, these coy and plump internet favorites are met
with fans everywhere they go.
This one did some of their funny walking, dancng, digging moves, tail wags and at one point looked like it was laying eggs. In summary, this "timberdoodle" -- one of several nicknames -- was an absolute delight and made it a great migration day.
I saw this painting in a shop window in Old Montreal and it reminded me of when I was a kid. My brothers and I and all the kids in our neighborhood would be outside right after school playing road hockey, then again right after dinner we would be outside playing road hockey until dark! We played hockey all year round! We made up our teams and this was our passion from the time we were about 10 or 12 years old until 16 years old! We always pretended we were our favorite NHL hockey hero as we were out there on the road playing hockey!
Even my Dad played on a Ice Hockey Team in Ayr, Ontario when he was growing up and it was his passion until he met my Mom. After that, the hockey went out the window,lol!

We saw these and some other beauties yesterday with my daughter in our hike at Cooper Mountain Nature Park.
It was a challenging task to get a good photo with the wind on the prairie but at the end I have this one of this Forktooth Ookow (I found it at INaturalist app but I'm not 100% sure)
Saw three of these Goldfinch cuties feeding at low tide. The Capehart restoration project is working - count is now up to 27 species that have returned since 2011.
Saw this beauty on our Road Trip through South Africa. Please feel free to enlarge. Hope you enjoy. :)
