Thanks for sharing, Jonny. Wasn't quite that cold here (-22 overnight, I believe), and I've spent the morning working inside on a home improvement project.

I DO have a shoot planned for this afternoon, when it warms up to about zero. Brrrrrr.

Great exposure from a tough angle on this little fella!

thanks guys!...Ken, that chickadee was straight above my head on a branch about 15'....just liked the blue background of the clear,cold morning skies...even some ice crystals were floating by....I even watched the eye of this chickadee stareing back at me and could see the liquid twinkling ........Only stayed for about 1/2 hour.....This upcoming week will be a little warmer they say...I still haven't used my "doghouse" blind...hopefully next week.......Here's another version(same photo,plus another ) of the chickadee...

and another(softer version):
