Sunday Birds: Sleepy Head

Once again we are featuring Kusum who has been doing a guest post each Sunday with the topic Sunday Birds. Kusum has a marvelous ability at capturing scenes with her camera and bringing them to life. Kusum just concluded a year long blog full of pictures from her travels. She has recently started a brand new blog with more wonderful pictures. Be sure and check out her new blog!

 Another sunday and I am here with another bird expressing another mood! Tell me who doesn't love early morning sleep? That too on a Sunday morning! We see all hands raised huh?

My niece is one of them ... she sometimes got off the bed at 1:00PM :) Not that she slept through out. She was just lazy to get out of the cozy bed. In between she peeped out of the blanket to check whether her Mother is angry :)

I took this picture in the Central Park, Fremont. These mallards stood on one feet, tucked their face in their own feathers. Occasionally opening their eyes to check what is happening around! They do this to conserve body heat and energy! What do we do it for?
