I hadn’t planned on making a post today, but when I was reviewing photos yesterday, I had to share this one.  While mountain chickadees are certainly a great photo subject and one of my favorite backyard birds, it wasn’t until I saw this image full size on my computer that I realized it was special.  If you look closely on the forehead of the photo, you can see a perfectly formed snowflake.  The first photo is cropped from the original but I did a second crop for viewing purposes to show the snowflake better.
