Listen to its call.
Although the sun was shining this afternoon, frost still covered much of the grass in our backyard. This bird was foraging for spilled seed under the neighbour’s bird feeder. I’m contemplating hanging one of our own, strategically placed to allow me to take my photos through the window. Several hours later, I’m still trying to warm up after my photo shoot with the birds. It’s chilly out there today.
