Sitting in the sun..
..hanging on the rock wall just outside the kitchen window. I'm not sure how much actual warmth the sunlight has at this time of the year. Maybe it is all just in their little heads..or maybe the actual sunlight can add some warmth to their feathers somehow ...
The sparrows have been doing the same thing some days.. clinging to the rocks beside the Flickers ... mostly on the very cold days... in a tiny patch of sunlight if they can find some.
The past week has been amazing.... warm at -2C or so .... compared to the horrible -32C of a week or so ago.
The birds are probably enjoying this brief week or so of better temperatures.
All week looks pretty good...some crazy person (weatherman) has even been saying that by Friday it could go as high as +8C... we'll see if they change their minds by then.
