Day 47: Duck Mallard Drake - Feb 16.  Portrait of a mallard duck resting on the ice.  The ice has begin to melt with the warmer weather over the past two days so this is probably one of the last ice shots unless the water freezes again.   Thanks for all of the nice comments posted for my Canada Geese images yesterday.
Day 42: Mallard Drake in Snow - Feb 11, 2013.  Went to feed the ducks yesterday and it was a bit  tough getting to them as plows had piled mounds of snow around the entrance to the pond.  But finally found a spot that I could climb over and walked through deep snow to get to the edge of the pond.  This handsome fellow had snuggled himself into a big pile of snow and seemed to be quite happy sitting there in the sun,  Thanks to eveyone who posted the supportive comments on my recent daily images.
