Chilly Day

It was still bitter cold today although slightly "warmer" thanks to the fact the wind was not blowing. However this Dark-Eyed Junco was really puffing himself up to stay warm!

What a cute puffy little bird!! I love these, they are just such cool little birds. Their beaks stick out against the dark body. Fantastic details and lighting! Wish I could puff up like that and stay warmer, I puff up like that and I just get fat!! LOL FAV!
