Snow bobbin

I read this morning that the wind chill factor outside was between 10 and 20 below 0. It is freakin' cold outside! The pipes froze and we had ice on 2 windows, so while Scott was thawing the pipes, I was putting plastic over the bedroom windows. Scott got the worse job, but I was standing in the sunshine and one of the ice sickles was dripped onto my glove, where it would freeze within a matter of a minute. Eventually, it got into my glove. Burrr! And I noticed that fewer birds came to visit today... even though I put out extra food cause I figured, if they made the trip on this extra frosty day, they deserved a little extra. And those who did come hung around and ate more than ever before. But what I didnt understand was this fella. There was lots of food on the deck railing and in the feeders, but he choose to go seed bobbing in the snow.

I guess every animal group has their weirdo's. I've met my share of weirdo humans.
