poplar fluff driven by the sun

Baby Northern Cardinal, looks like a male to me. He just keeps coming to visit, and I just keep taking his picture.

Fluff is appealing, it looks nice from afar, so soft and inviting, however if you approach too close or touch it with your fingers, it will fall apart and be lost in the wind.

Deciding whether or not to go into the garden and enjoy the lovely warm sunshine.

I think it's a mocking bird, maybe a young one, but I'm not completely sure! He was not moving, even with my Catahoula Jessi in tow. He stood his ground, er, pole....=o) Thanks for viewing!

Rosy pipit (Anthus roseatus), Uttarakhand, India

The Rosy Pipit (Anthus roseatus) is a high-altitude passerine of the Himalayas, typically found in alpine meadows, boulder fields, and glacial valleys. In the breeding season, it shows a subtle pink wash on the breast, fading to streaked browns in winter. Predominantly a ground feeder, it moves seasonally with altitude and blends easily into rugged mountain landscapes.
