The definition of cuteness

This was one of the 36 wild European Rabbits that we saw in Drumheller, Alberta, on 4 January 2013. Four of us drove east of the city to the Badlands (land of the dinosaurs) and spent the day taking part in the annual Horseshoe Canyon/Drumheller Christmas Bird Count. Our territory was the N side of the Red Deer River, including the Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology area.

Was just reading a discussion on photographing Snowy Owls - people's idea of what birding etiquette is definitely varies from one person to another. This YouTube video was included - can't believe that some photographers will go to this length to photograph already stressed-out birds that have come down from the north!

We had a few inches of fresh snow overnight and it's still snowing this afternoon. Judging by the very white sky, it looks like there is plenty more snow to fall. It's -10C, windchill -18C, but tomorrow is supposed to fall to -19C. Could be worse!
