The snowflake is located above the middle of the distance between the eye and ear of the bird. That is like a snowflake hair clip by the temple.

Yeah, since when is a cheek located behind an eye on anything?

Is this like a prison teardrop tattoo for birds? Should I be cautious?

If lil’ chip here had a snowflake for every birdie he killed, he’d be covered from claws to beak. ☃️

I mean, he is a dark-eyed junco. Prolly stabbed another bird in a dark alley for some smack.

Santen kesshun I reject!

I still can’t believe that’s a real bird name.

HOLY CRAP THAT’S FUCKIN’ ADORABLE!

What a cute little birdy and what a great photograph! I love it! Thank you for sharing Jocelyn’s wonderful photo with us, fossilesque :)

Wait, snowflakes are that big? Or is this just a silly meme?

I have very limited experience with snow being in Australia and all

nonagonOrc@lemmy.world on 23 Jan 2025 08:24 next collapse

I’m pretty sure that is a small bird, but yeah, they can definitely be visible to the naked eye (depending on the type of snow)

Snowflakes vary in size from tiny specs to big, crystals a few millimeters in diameter like in the pic.

Zoop@beehaw.org on 24 Jan 19:36 collapse

Sometimes they are, yep! They vary in size and shape quite a bit.

You know how some raindrops are teeny tiny and light, some are big and fat and heavy? And often you can tell because of how they look and feel differently on your skin and stuff? It’s just like that!

Woah. That totally makes sense actually. Thanks!
