Female Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)

This was taken between snow showers and I braved the cold to lean out of the window to get this picture.

And this image does seem to show how steep that slope is (it's only about 3 feet from top to bottom, but is almost vertical!) A few minutes after this, I could hardly see a thing through the blizzard!

Lol, it sounds as if you timed this picture perfectly between white-outs! That steep drop seems dangerous in slick conditions. TFS D!!!!!!

We don't see many shots taken straight down from hanging out the window ;) Good thing you didn't fall out into the snow yourself :eek!:
