fluffed...

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 30 January 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

It's still cold. Yes, I am whining. LOL!! I took this on Sunday when the first of this cold snap started blowing in. There were quite a few junco's (the bird in the image), red polls, and chickadees trying to keep warm and fuel up on the seeds in the feeders.

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

Nice composition! The branches really frame the bird well.

A delicate shot with excellent detail, Amy. The cold sounds very hard on the wildlife.

I like this a lot. Hope the birds out there are all finding their warm places and plenty of food to keep them going.

Very pretty Amy. It's strange that you have Junco's. We don't. We do have the redpolls, chickadees, and pine grosbeaks though. I'm posting a bird shot later today too.

Juncos are some of my favorite birds! Love how you've captured him "fluffed". Great job!

I am always amazed that they can control their bodies to the extent that they don't lose their feet.

You are certainly sounding fed up with the cold. Lets hope it will warm up a bit soon down your neck of the woods. That little bird looks cute, I'm always amazed that their feet don't freeze.....
