BIRDS SURVIVE IN WINTER WEATHER

This dove was conserving energy today by sitting for long periods of time in a tree. By puffy up it is like they have put on a winter coat. That creates an air space between their feathers and body. Birds have to do this in winter -- some even go into hypothermia at night to survive.
