I just don't understand why, after this weather onslaught, we don't find piles of them frozen in the trees.

Beautiful pic! When I first saw it I thought "Whoa. Someone hacked my album!" I took one today almost identical. Your photo is probably higher quality but my bird has a tail. Evens? LOL
Thank you very much!

Nice capture. I have seen that more than once and have wondered how they manage so well until it grows back.
Thank you very much!

Beautiful sharp photo. I am amazed that she can fly well without a tail!

I took a class on animal physiology one time: fascinating things to learn. For example, many birds, especially birds that have to stand on ice, have a "counter-current heat exchanger" system to prevent their body from cooling down. The veins with the cold blood returning to the body from the feet wrap around arteries going to the feet - warming the incoming blood and cooling the blood going to the feet, so it is already cold, thus minimizing total heat loss from the body.
