Breast feathers veil clasping feet snow lightly as down You, jay, perch in a willow look straight ahead look side to side ready to fly into grey sky in an instant but you wait there like a camera shy model until the lens is pointed elsewhere
Aisha, the bird, Perisoreus canadensis, is in the Corvidae family (crows, jays and magpies) and is commonly called a gray jay (sometimes a Canada jay). But this particular jay does look somewhat like a tit (which we call chickadees in North America); the Gray Jay is quite a bit bigger, however.
Yeah, always happens to me, they fly when I'm not ready to take the picture. Just one suggestion based on probably not reading this right, but might go light instead of lightly on the snow.

Perfectly captured both in the poem and in the photo.
Glad you liked it, Aish & Paula.
