Hello WisBirders:
I read somewhere that there is something about bird legs/feet that makes them 
able to tolerate the cold with their feet exposed.  Now I can't remember what 
it was or where I read it.  This topic came up in our office kitchen between me 
and a colleague who is raising urban chickens.  I said I thought there would be 
many WisBirdnetters who would know the answer to this, and since our email 
traffic is low in this pre-migration period, it was a good time to toss it out 
there.
