Sometimes all it takes is a baby bird in a snazzy cap to brighten your day.
Today, you're in cluck.
Maine-based photographer Julie Persons snapped photos of several little, darling chicks sporting what might just be summer's hottest fashion trend (hats!). Some of the caps are hand-crafted by Persons, some were purchased in local shops and all are adorable. Persons, who's from a farm just outside the town of Norridgewock, Maine started the hobby when her 7-year-old daughter tried to accessorize some of the baby birds they were keeping at home. See their work below.
