Getting ready for colder weather

Still life with egret

 ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Colder weather is coming so this egret is fluffing up his / her feathers.  Best guess is a male as some breeding plumage...the whispy feathers at some edges of the body...is starting to show.  This egret along with a number of friends were hanging out at the pier near the Ormond Bridge over the Halifax.  

     So, will it get cold??  Yes, for Floridians. .. and iguanas.  (The last cold snap saw iguanas in Miami freeze into a sort of suspended animation with slurpee-style blood)  We haven't had temps in the mid / low 30's in a couple of years.   Those vacationers from the Northeast and others will also think its cold but only because they packed for 70 degree weather.
