A handsome gray and white bird is perched on a branch, with snow-covered conifers in the background. The upper parts are charcoal gray. The belly is snow white. The bird has dark eyes, a small, pale bill, and a very long tail. This is a Dark-eyed Junco, part of the sparrow family. This species has been nicknamed a "snowbird" due to its presence in the U.S. during winter. This bird mostly feeds on the ground, which doesn’t always make for a nice background, so I was lucky to get him on a tree.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme #BestOfTheMonth, here's a Dark-eyed Junco, fluffed up on a snowy morning. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-w...

Tiny bodies. Freezing nights. No blankets.

So how do birds survive until morning?

Bird in profile with its head turned toward the camera, standing amidst trumpet vine branches, in winter. Black head and eyes, pale short thick beak, brown upper back, charcoal wings and lower back, pale to white chest and belly. Blurred background.

Not really sure how to determine a power pose among the little birds, but, this Junco certainly seems quite comfortable with themselves.
I like its expression, as if it's saying to me, "Yes? What do you want?"
Just a photo, please.

Male Northern Cardinal settled into a shallow hollow in fresh snow, red plumage bright against blue winter shadows, crest slightly raised and feathers fluffed for insulation.

The White-crowned Sparrow displays distinctive black and white stripes on the crown with a gray face, uniform gray breast and throat, with brown-streaked wings and a long, dark tail. The bill is small, pink, orange, or yellow depending on the subspecies. This one against clear blue sky has a cute butt, and seems to be well aware of it.

🤏 One of our smaller #winterbirds, these little birbs arrive in Fall and stay thru April here in the Mojave Desert...🐦🌿

Two geese in a confrontation in the water. One goose is standing on some ice and doesnt want others to invade its territory (despite there being ducks on the ice). When another goose decided to join it on the ice, the first goose made a ruckus

After joining some ducks on the ice that was floating in the lake, one goose decided no other goose could invade the territory.

Black-capped Chickadees can lower their body temperature at night to conserve energy, a strategy that helps them survive Manitoba winters. Snow drifts sideways through the morning air. He grips the cold metal like it’s nothing. A small body holding its ground. “The bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.” – Maya Angelou

A Black-capped Chickadee perched on a frosted feeder hook during light snowfall. The bird remains steady as fine snow drifts across the frame, feathers slightly fluffed against the cold.

Took a walk at sunset and we run right into (not literally) a Bald Eagle- how fortuitous! Yet, I can't help but think that this Ring-billed Gull stole the show. What an attitude!
