It's been COLD here (well below zero Fahrenheit) the last couple of days. The poor little juncos are searching for food in any bare spot they can find.
Yesterday morning I happened to see a tiny shrew running across the garage floor. It was hunched up into such a little ball that in the semi-darkness I at first thought it was a leaf or something the wind had blown in under the door, but when I went to pick it up and toss it out, it ran away. :-) So I had to check it out a little closer, thinking maybe it was a mouse, but it turned out to be a shrew. I let the poor little thing continue on its frigid way.
Isn't it amazing how such tiny little creatures can survive such cold temperatures?!
