“When it’s cold you can see the song.”
A blue tit appears to be sending smoke signals as it braves sub-zero temperatures in a park in the city of Petrozavodsk, Russia. Mikhail Kalinin, 34, an electric locomotive engineer spotted the chirping bird’s condensation rising up out from it’s beak with the temperature below -5 degrees celsius.

yw, and this is what it’s like here, outside right now. except with no singing.
I do wonder where they go when it’s so cold.
Troppo bello 😚
Yes!
🙂
That’s the BEST(est) ever Monday Wake Up Call….. except that I’m already nearly tired again, as it’s already 11am here. The sun is shining, it’s probably some 3°C outside and this breathing blue tit is beyond everything one could wish for! AND THAT LINE! love it
Smiling. (Note to Self: Every one of her high energy comments brings a smile)
Aaaaaawh …. have another one 🙂
I’m with Kiki! I absolutely LOVE the quote and the joie de vivre that this little songster exudes. Welcome to the new week!!
Yes. Have a great week Lori.
💛
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you. ( the cold)
Oh Yes….
How very cool. Keep your feeders full so they can sing in the snow!
Exactly!
What a great welcome to the week. My little wren is chirping away right now outside the window.
How lucky are you! Have a great week Val.
May your week unfold with ease … as the next artic vortex dips down to touch us briefly. Winter does give us time to pause and lessons on comfort to reflect on 😎🙏😎
Doesn’t it though!
Oh, goodness, it’s supposed to be a high of -20F on Wednesday where I live! That’s -28.8888C! I’d better alert my bird-watching friends in case their visitors that day put on an amazing show like this little darling! Would their little tufts of breath just freeze right in place? I’m new to your site, and I’m so inspired every morning! Thank you!
-20F, ooooooh. That’s chilly. Welcome aboard. I’m blessed with such an amazing community here….

That was my initial thought …. smoke signals!! Amazing nature … ‘A blue tit appears to be sending smoke signals as it braves sub-zero temperatures in a park in the city of Petrozavodsk, Russia.

What a fantastic line to go with that wonderful picture.
Have a marvellous and fantabulous week, DK!
Thanks Dale. You too!
Thank you, kind sir!
Great shot, the little frozen breath
It is so damn cute
She really is!
Such a darling, photo…I think it was Smithsonian where I read that some mama’s have a substance in their blood that acts as antifreeze does in a car….///white hair grace, Sawsan and any other of you who live in the effect cold box area stay warm!!! Brainerd, MN will be -28 tonight and -35 Wednesday night…brrr, ugh and we must pray for the homeless that they get to a warming center or a shelter…and pray that all domestic pets are properly housed!
So amazing, right? Antifreeze in blood. Gift, all of it!
this is so perfect!
🙂
It is!
