When I saw this Mourning Dove perched outside this morning, I almost broke out singing the lyrics from Baby, It's Cold Outside. The temperature was minus 24 and the wind chill was minus 29. Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

ooooh that's cold! Nice pics of a very puffed up Mourning Dove. But I just realized, you're in Celsius, not quite as cold as I was thinking.

Great detailed pics, I really like them both. It was -33C here yesterday morning, -45C with the wind chill factor.

A perfect couple of shots showing the "puffability" of below zero birds... my Blue Jays and Gray Jay are looking like that these days :) Pretty dove images Harvey, the only ones I see around here are during the spring migration and they don't hang out too long... I always marvel how the birds and animals survive in this deep below zero weather...

Man that is cold! It gives you a respect for how tough all these guys are braving that kind of cold. Great looking pair Harv.

Really nice Dove shot there, Harvey! It's sort of like wearing a nice, puffy jacket when it's cold out; you just sort of want to hunker down in it :)
