frenzied snow removal

<div>The morning after a heavy snow a blue Jay arrived looking for peanuts. The snow had covered the opening to the feeder and made standing close to the feeder difficult. The blue Jay began flapping its wings to remove some of the snow.</div> <div> </div> <div>Canon 7D; F9 .1:1/664; 275 MM; ISO 800;</div> <div> </div> <div> </div>

Very cool action and behavior, Larry.  It looks to me like it could use some brightening.  Snow can be difficult that way.  I never remember the  rule of thumb for snow exposure compensation, so I always have to take a few sots and look at the histogram until I get it right.  In processing, you can bring this up until the brightest areas are almost full white and it should work nicely.
