Awwwww how tweet! How these little critters stay warm in winter temps is beyond me. Beautiful capture Sandy!
It is amazing how such little birds survive, as I know all too well how quickly I start feeling chilled when outside, despite being all bundled up. lol Those feathers are amazing for keeping their tiny bodies warm! Many kind thanks for stopping by and for your compliment wiscbackroadz! : )
So very beautiful Sandy ! I always think that I would love to go out and dress them in little birdy caps and scarves to keep warm LOL ! Renee
Awe,…..thank you so much Renee! You talking about putting on little birdy caps and scarves to keep them warm reminds me of the knitted suits people are making up for Penguins. The knitted suits are for Penguins who have ended up in oil slicks and have to be kept warm and stop them from cleaning the toxic oil from their feathers.
Wow!!! What spectacular lighting on these beautiful birds. Outstanding capture and a fvae, Sandy~Lynn
Thank you so very kindly Lynn! I was using a fill flash, but it failed to work on one of two pics and I ended up preferring this one without the flash. : )
