Frosted Eyelashes.

Not mine, rather this Northern Hawk Owl's! Have a close look between the ears and the corner of the owl's eyes...that is frost! Then again, I guess there's nothing special about that, after all the mercury was sitting at -30 degree's below Celius this morning!

That will put frost on just about anything and anyone, LOL!

Buuurrrrrhh. Even he looks cold!

He sure is puffed up. It's amazing these birds can survive such frigid temps.

Very nice shot - how are your eyelashes doing in those temps????!!! It's a balmy -3F here...

[Birdsong]

Wonderful photo! And I was just going to ask the same question dockothebay asked. Good for you for being out there.

[Catmendo]

Thanks all! For the record jackie, -30 celius converts to -22 faharenhiet...Yup, that's cold!!!

Nice image, Stu. Frosted eyelashes probably means his breath was going up. I've always wanted to photograph a bird's breath but haven't had any luck yet. Probably at least partly because I tend to set up with the sun at my back, and breath is best seen when backlit.

That is cold and he/she looks very cold! Can't get more puffed out than that guy.

Thanks for sharing.

Right on Mike, that's what makes this photo interesting. Mind you, I don't think the little owl finds any humor in this!

I really like this last shot.
