    Answer to question # 1 1. The robin looks fluffier because it's winter and they are fatter to keep out the cold. They probably fluff up their feathers.
    2. This is the male because they are more colorful then the females and this one has bright colors.
    3. We think that the snow is reflecting light into the pupil so it gets smaller.
    4. The color of the iris is very hard to tell, but we think it is purple or dark grey.
             This was a lot of fun to do. Hope are answers are correct.
