[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 252439, member: 12214"] 1-22-14: It finally made it above zero F. WooHoo! Even the birds came out of hiding for a while. :) The sky was such a beautiful, crystal clear blue, even if it was just above zero. This little guy has a sunflower seed between his feet. If you look closely, you will see part of the actual seed kernel in his mouth. In the second photo, he's digging out the rest of the kernel out of the seed hull.

At first, I thought they looked like feathers, then realized that they look more like frozen, crystallized fern fronds. Very cool (no pun intended), in either case.
