Comments: | The little Snowcap, one of the smallest of the small, bathes by immersing himself in the water, and pops up out of the water in a different place. I nickname him the little raspberry--he drinks from the flower of the raspberry bush and is himself colored like a raspberry. When he's feeding he is camouflaged as his white cap matches the raspberry flower and this body matches the raspberry. | ||
