By far, my most exciting bird-watching moment ~ finding this Northern Pygmy Owl. Such a small owl, about the size of a hand.

You're welcome!
I was so estatic when I saw it! I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it even from a hundred meters, just sitting there, guarding its territory I guess. Which in the natural world is what it would do. What an amazing feeling it was!
