January Challenge continues

Day 9 - After a sudden snow squall, the day was bright and sunny - but still very cold. I found this pair of doves resting with fluffed-out plumage to keep warm.

The ever-present starlings caught Jorge's attention again. This bird's common name derives from its winter plumage - starry spots on iridescent black plumage.
