Stunned

this one survived - they are at the feeder or on the porch and fly suddenly away - with the occasional crash into the clear glass of the kitchen window - in summer they usually are stunned but quickly revive, however in the cold winter days they can quickly die if not given some needed warmth like that of my hand - so this one survived, and not so lucky was a little Junco later that I did not get to in time -

Icing In

Santa Claus

Santa Claus gets a bad name at times as being a base example of secularism but he is really just an adulterated stand in for a truly historical being - Saint Nicolas who did many givings in the name of Christianity

Moose

another nice photograph from the internet - I have had a few days of troubles caused by the cold weather (frozen water pump, frozen pipes to the bathroom, etc) so my own snapshots are kinda on hold 

Bedraggled

I wish that I had taken the original photograph of this guy - but it is from the internet
