A warm place to land


Can't remember if this was the first time this person had ever had a little Chickadee fly down to her hand - something every human being should be able to have happen at least once in their lifetime : ) Taken at Sikome, Fish Creek Park, on 17 February 2013. During the long, cold winter months, these tiny birds are just 24 hours away from death - they need to be able to get enough food to create a layer of fat on their body to keep warm enough to survive. In the winter, their brain expands in order to let them remember where they hide every single seed that they find. Wish this happened to humans, too - I could do with that all year round : )
