I've wanted to capture this shot for some time now and recently things finally lined up right for me to get it. The weather needs to be cool enough for the birds to see their breath and a clear sky helps with the morning sun to backlight the photo. The breath is seen when the birds lets out his song, so this is in essence, a visually representation of his song.
