Peter, Nice contrasting colors. I always wonder why some birds choose not to migrate.

A boon to see them still with you Peter. Hopefully, not to harsh an experience for them. Smashing shot, and the preening adding interest.

As pretty as can be. Poor fellow with icy feathers. We get them year round in Vermont too, more and more every year.

Not a very common sight here in Canada, during Winter, so a fine capture, Peter.

Great find and interesting pose. I guess as long as they find food, they might be fine.
