Mr. Bluebird in the rain

Winter has returned to us. Rain all day, temperatures in the high 30's and sleet on the windshield while driving to an appointment this morning. Despite the weather, this guy was looking for food in the grass and around the dead weeds.

FAV! what an excellent photo Kathy!

[Kathy A]

Poor little thing!

[Kathy]

@grammyn Through the window and screen too! Thank you.
@kjarn The rain didn't seem to bother it, although it does look a bit vexed. Thanks Kathy

[amyK]

Love this; has a lovely softness

[Babs]

Oh dear hope he doesn't get too wet

[Shutterbug]

Nice capture of this cute bird.

[KWind]

Love the tones.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Poor wee bird - he looks hunched trying to keep the rain away.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely, but sad!

[Wylie]

sweet shot

[Renee Salamon]

Poor little thing, no fun getting so wet

[Susan Wakely]

Sweet determined bird.

[Misty]

awww love this little blue bird

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

He does look a little fed up with it all. Just can't be bothered looking for another perch

[haskar]

Bad choice. Poor thing!

[Kathy]

@amyk Thank you Amy. I guess it's the window, screen and rain softening the details of the bird.
@onewing He'll be fine Babs. I'm guessing the rain is making it easier for him to find food.
@shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie.
@kwind Thank you. Wintery tones in the landscape still. At least in the back yard.
@dkbarnett I think the rain is wetting its feathers down and compacting them a bit. It doesn't seem to mind the rain and at this point in the day, it wasn't coming down very hard.
@jamibann Thanks Issi. Brighter looking today and I think I saw the Mrs.
@pusspup Thanks Wylie.
@rensala Not fun at all, but I wonder if I don't put too many of my feelings on animals. I always feel sorry for cows standing in the rain, but know they have a shelter available if they want it.
@wakelys Thanks Sue.
@mistyhammond Thank you Misty. I'm thrilled every time I see bluebirds in my yard.
@ziggy77 I think you've nailed it Jo.
@haskar Haha! He flew down to the ground when I took my last shot. Looking for bugs.

[Corinne C]

A lovely shot.
He seems to have accepted his fate under the rain. Poor little bird!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Ohhh poor little fellow- I hope he found something good.

[Kathy]

@corinnec Thank you Corinne. Maybe he's really one of the "angry birds."
@olivetreeann Me too. Must have 'cause he keeps coming back.

[CC Folk]

Sweet little bird.

[Kathy]

@gardenfolk They're awfully pretty.
