Excellent capture of this bird with food? in a very bleak environment! l/f

Thank you Dorothy! Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure what he has in his beak but I know it was for his nest. The males will build several dummy nests and use some for warmth during the winter. Since I haven't seen activity there since, I'm guessing is was a dummy nest.
