#53 Who Put That There? (Theme #360)

We got about a half an inch of snow last night. I looked out the window this morning and saw this Mourning Dove waddling around with a load of snow on its tail. I watched it walking around for several minutes before and after taking the picture--the snow stayed on its tail and didn't fall off. None of the other birds had a snowy tail.

Poor little dove. I hope her tail thawed out without damage.

I bet he had a touch time figuring out what was wrong - too funny!

It takes a careful eye to see that bird...so camoflaged with the snow on the tail. You really found a good subject for this theme.

I was flying along and my tail iced up how embarrasing.
