looks like they are all fluffed up in their winter coats and trying to keep warm in that little bit of sunshine.

Nice shot Hayward, I like the title, fits well! We have so many Canadian Geese around here and we have the same problem with the poopin issue. I have noticed where they hanging on the ice on the river is the same as this side walk. They are in the parks and golf courses and people really complain about it, but what do you do?

You would think a pigeon would have enough brains to get out of Chicago before winter and head south
I guess they are not that smart......but you captured the cold well Hayward

Universal problem Hayward, but it's the shot that counts here, and your angle and composition have done them justice. PAUL

Nice shot, Hayward. You would think they would find a rooftop somewhere to hang out on. TFS.
