No birds were harmed in the making of these photos. This was the most visibility I got that day. Hard to see with that stinging, blowing snow in your eyes even when the clouds finally blew away.
Damn it was cold and miserable. My time would have been better spent at the bar. Oh well. Tomorrow will be yet another attempt. Wind looks to be better, but a high of -10. Boy oh boy....
Don't your nads get in the way while walking? Though in those temps they're probably nestled against your diaphragm.
