Couldn't resist showing this little guy's face on Christmas Day, LOL. Apparently, this tiny Northern Pygmy-owl or another one, was seen down in Fish Creek Park just two days ago, so it's good to know that at least one is still around. This photo shows him/her at approximately life size, i.e. fist-sized or popcan-sized : ) 18x zoomed and heavily cropped, as usual! In a couple of days, I might replace this image with just the plain bird shot without the holly - would look better for my Birds of Alberta Set : )

You'll never think of milk and cookies for Santa in the same way if you watch this funny little video from JibJab. Would never have seen it, but my son, Steven, posted it on his Facebook page. Thanks for the laugh, Steven!
