I watched these little birds digging in the snow and flapping their wings to get down to the ground underneath the snowlayer. Wondering what they were doing, I placed a long lens on my camera (so as not to freighten them away by coming too close) and took a few pictures of their activity.What I discovered was that by digging a depression in the snow they formed a little bowl, and with their wing action they melted the snow, which acumulated in the bowl-like depression as water and then drank from it.
How did they get to be so clever?
Wow. That's so ingenious! That just further proves my belief that animals are, in fact, the superior race.
