What is this robin doing to keep warm and dry during a snowstorm?

This robin is in a blizzard. The wind is blowing 35 to 45 mph, and gusting to 70 mph! The blizzard will last for 24 hours. The night temperature will drop to 6 degrees F. Brrrr! Look closely. What has the robin done to help keep warm and dry? BONUS: If it's 6 degrees outside, what is the temperature difference between the air and the bird’s heart and lungs? Our expert has the information to help you figure that out!
