Small bird perched on ant guard with puffed up feathers

small bird with puffed up weathers to cope with the cold morning temperature

This morning, the temperature was 47 F/6 C. The resident leucistic Carolina chickadee likes to drink from ant guards (for hummingbird feeders) but this morning used one as a perch for puffing up its feathers to deal with the cold.
