Yukon Bird Gang
by frizztext
Task 2013: I’ll try to post everyday a photo [that's a 365 day project], introducing Flickr photographers, who sent their artworks to my group BLOG IT! Below a cool composition by Keith Williams, cold weather survival strategies – maybe you like to take the shot as a metaphor (like me): our optimal strategy to survive 2013, if the upcoming year gets harder than 2012 …

Keith Williams comments: “…These Tree Swallows huddling together to conserve energy and body heat, were part of a large flock of migrating swallows caught in a freak snowstorm on the Yukon River…”
wow………is it real? i mean, no edit?
it’s real, it’s there strategy vs. the cold [close together like penguins in the Antarctic] – here another version:

I kind of like this one better because the color of the birds are more pronounced. Lovely shots.
Hope they made it through the storm – so cute!
Lovely picture
Wish the birds the best

Beautiful, there are some amazing photos on your Blogit group!
…”optimal strategy to survive 2013″ indeed!

Wow! they’re both fantastic shots!
Sweet to see the two enjoying quality time together!
heart melting – together we stand, divided we fall
hi Laura!
For many brave soldiers some tips how to desert would have been a better advice. Why not emigrate to Quebec? A bad flashback to the soldiers of Napoleon entering Moscow too. Not to mention German soldiers in Stalingrad. Together we stand, divided we fall – in this bird case for sure a good idea, but for soldiers without using reflection: sometimes not; is my European opinion too much for an American soul?
Brilliant photo! I’ve never seen birds huddling together in a snow storm like this.
Those ckdee-dee are so adorable having a group hug in frigid weather.
It’s so beautiful shot!
