Checking out the little pond. However, they ingest snow most of the time instead of drinking water.

The stone perch with snow particles and the Redpoll looking down at the show particles help tell the story they are ingesting snow more than water. Plus the bird looks great. Well done!

Wonderful feather detail shown in your image, Karl. The rock base looks great; something a little different
than a tree perch.

+1. Paul related my comments. I also like the rock perch as something different for something different.
