It is cold and blustery out for this smallest of the falcons sitting on a fence post trying to catch the warmth of the sun’s rays. The wind is blowing his feathers which are in somewhat disarray. I actually saw a bird in this exact pose as I took a cold morning walk several years ago. It was not comfortable for me and I wanted the viewer to get the sense that it was not comfortable for the bird either as he sat upon the post and put up with the wind and cold hoping for the sun to warm and the winds to die down.
