On the days when the wildlife in the nature reserve makes itself scarce, you can always count on some mallards to show up. They are a lively bunch and I enjoy their antics. While the majority migrate south during the winter months some remain. I took this photograph in mid-November as the ice was just beginning to form on the lake. The duck obliged for a few shots then walked over to an opening in the ice and swam away.

Beautiful. I wouldn’t know what ice is, so to me, he’s standing on water.

You’re welcome. I love them too Belinda. We have a pond outside our house with so many kinds of ducks! I love hearing them quacking in the morning. I look forward to your blog as well. 🙂

Sounds wonderful. We go to a nearby reserve every chance we get and hear the ducks as we drive up.
