Fluffed Up

We had some very cold weather this morning and even the Mourning Doves were trying to keep warm.

Looks like it needs a nest

@peterdegraaff This was near the birdfeeder and the food! I have no idea where the nest is!

[Vee]

I always wonder how they keep warm! Nice shot!

[katy]

@vskolnik It isn't Vee quality but it will do! thanks so much! I think the feathers trap air and it insulates them.

Poor thing needs a nice warm cottage

Aww how very cute! Love how fluffy he looks! Great shot!

[PasadenaRose]

He looks like he's trying to soak up some warmth from the sun.
Great close up. How far away were you?

@digitalrn I did feel a little sad for it to be sitting in the cold!

[katy]

@kbalychev Thanks, Kimberly! I think the fluff was to help keep it warm!

[katy]

@pasadenarose I think you are right! I was about 15 feet away behind the kitchen window! It is easy to shoot when they don't see or hear me.

[Deb]

Poor thing!

[katy]

@deburahiru I felt so bad for it!

[Marilyn Wigen]

Fabulous detail! He does look cold, but they are, however, creatures of the outdoors, so they are probably used to handling the chill... :)

Katy: that is a nice shot. So fluffy and nice. Almost makes you wish you were an egg.

@marilyn Thank you so much! I just know how cold I feel when the wind is blowing and it is cold outside so I empathize even though you are probably right!

[katy]

@prn Thanks so much! You are crazy! ;~}
