A little Sand Piper gives me a wink and motions me to join in their morning yoga class on the beach. Although balancing on one leg proved not too difficult I fell flat on my face trying to hop away on one leg like these characters did when a rogue wave came up the beach just a little too far.

If I remember my comparative physiology correctly it is to minimize heat loss. Less surface area without feathers exposed to the air.

Hi Mary, the photo was also taken around winter solstice and the sun was low in the sty and the shadows long that day. Wishing you a great weekend.
