Cold Bird
Friends, this winter bird is a Goldfinch wearing his winter coat. He is huddled on a small branch crouching over his feet on a day with -15 degrees Fahrenheit. Did you know that birds can shut down the blood flow to their legs and feet to prevent permanent damage due to cold weather. My feet are cold, til Tomorrow MJ
