I just took several pictures of a male Cardinal eating snow with his beak
covered, very cute. He did this several times and would then scrape it clean
and start all over again.

Hi all,
I just watched cardinals eating snow. First, I saw a male cardinal on the
snow, I thought he looked very cute so I was praising his beauty. Then I
thought may be snow is too deep for him get up. Just then he started eating
snow. When he face was up, his beak was covered with snow. So I ran down to
my car to get the video camera out. By the time I came up and set up my
camera, he had his last bite (?) of snow and flew up to a branch still his
beak covered with snow. As I was watching him, I saw another bird down
slightly hidden in the branches. It turned out to be his partner who was also
eating snow. She too was satiated after a few minutes and joined the male.
Then they both flew away together.
It was a very cute behavior to watch and birds looked adorable!
Cheers
