Fluffy Contest

I just love it when they get their feathers ruffled!

"Dumb dove! Look at me!"



Well, I'm not playing your silly games - I'm eating!

Yesterday, I watched a dove sunning itself all fluffed out like yours. The wrens and the catbirds also fluff up to sing.

They are so cute when they do that, especially during the winter months! Good shots, Helen.
