Description: I wish I knew the name of this bird so that I could give it the proper introduction it deserves but I suppose this will have to do.
This fluffy guy was perched in a tree at the University of Southern Illinois in Carbondale, near their student center. I was walking around looking for shots to take so I could be done for today and could get out of the cold when I looked into a nearby tree and saw him. The only reason I even spotted him (or her, I don't know what species this is so I can't determine the gender) was because of how fluffy and big he was against the bare tree.
It actually allowed me to get really close. It was so busy trying to keep warm that it deemed it unnecessary to waste energy and warmth to fly away from me. but I actually found this bird unbelievably adorable not only because of it's fluff but because of its reaction to me.
You see, the camera I own is the Canon Eos Rebel T3i. It is an older model in the rebel line and unlike the newer ones in this series, the one I own makes a very loud and noticeable clicking noise while taking pictures. So this little bird caught on to me taking photos and instead of flying away kept tilting its head back and forth at me. it was very cute.
But after a few pictures, I left to give my adorable little friend time to relax and be alone.
