This is the African Pygmy Falcon ... the smallest raptor in Africa.

What a cutie!

Very photogenic and patient with everyone who came up to see her.[Image]
But, she did get fluffed up when the sparrows started tobug her. Sort of: "Ha, Ha ... you can't get me!"
Many thanks to Misty for being our hostess for Camera Critters.
Wishing YOU well and a JOY filled weekend.

What a cute bird. The last photo is wonderful. I usually wouldn't say a raptor is cute but this really is CUTE! Great shots, have a wonderful weekend!

What a face! She's so cute but I bet you wouldn't want to tangle with her! That beak looks pretty strong.

How adorable! Lovely shots of this little African falcon. I also have a raptor on my post today, an American Kestrel.

The birds are lovely, but really, today I've come by just to see the header again - it makes me smile when the Christmas cheer is eluding me.

My goodness! I just visited Denise's American Kestrel, and now your African Pygmy Falcon. A double treat of falcons! Yours is adorable.
