Phainopepla - 11/10/12


cr_TC - Phainopepla (26), originally uploaded by kimberzy.

This female Phainopepla (the male is black) tries to warm up in the sun... that white spot on the photo is not a dust speck - it is a snowflake. It was cold, windy and snowy on this day. Poor bird was probably freezing her feathers off!

Photo taken at Tillie Creek Campground in Wofford Heights, CA
