<div>Piloerection in birds was obviously the inspiration for down coats. Hey, if it keeps the birds warm, why not steal the idea -- and the feathers -- to keep humans warm?
</div>
<div>I was not around for the last WP (Winter Bird Portraits), but I think this a shot that would fit in either that one or this one, since it is "someone very bundled up." This Tufted Titmouse looks pretty "bundled up" to me. :-)</div>

Wayne, I agree, great capture of the titmouse in his downy coat. I like the colors too! He looks peaceful and warm.

Wayne, a great look at this Titmouse staying warm. The details in the bird and it's perch are terrific. The flying snowflakes and the background colors add very well.
