Cold Monday

It's -14 below, you have the day off what do you do.  You go outside and see what else is out and about. The morning started out, with a little treat. A Hoary Redpoll, this little guy is about 3" in length and when it's cold looks like a flying golf ball. We just don't see them very often and this one was in the backyard. Then it was off to the river, to find some open water. This Common Merganser didn't mind the -14, but as you can see. The Trumpeter Swans, decided to tuck under and stay warm.
