Wildlife photographers Tim and Russell Laman capture backyard birds in a whole new light in Backyard Birds Revealed, a new series by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. In this short episode they answer questions like ‘How do birds keep their feet warm?’ and ‘Why do birds look so much fluffier in the winter?’ But mostly, it’s an opportunity to see the beauty and grace of these birds, which are usually flying fast out of view.
