    I just find wind buffeted birds irresistible. I don’t know why. Actually, I find wind buffeted bees irresistible. Maybe I just have a weakness for windblown animals. Nice picture, anyway. :)

    This robin was being very stoic and stubborn about the wind. He sat there, facing the wind gusts and me, for several minutes. I doubted that he would remain long enough for me to get my camera and return, but he stayed just long enough for me to get a couple of shots.
    It’s fun and interesting to watch critters face up to nature’s challenges. :)
