The temperatures here have been bitterly cold the last few days. The creek is really icing over, but small areas of open water remain. I can’t imagine how frigid that water must be. But still the ducks trek back and forth between the cattle’s winter lot and the creek.
So I trekked out on my lunch break today to snap a few pictures of them.
Brrr, they look cold to me! But I did see a little bit of steam coming off the creek, so I suppose the water is a little warmer than the air. Still, brrr!
I hate to play favorites, but see that black duck with the white chest? Love the coloring of that duck!

What we did on New Year’s Day
I’m so glad I’m not a duck!
It seems that the Northern part of the country is very cold. It was -11 here this morning. The ducks look cold. I love your picture of the footprints!
It was 15 degrees with a windchill of -6 this morning in SW PA. I’m afraid I’d make a lousy duck….I’d take up residence in someone’s hot tub. 😛
Handsom bunch of ducks you got there;) My ducks sit on top of the heated water tote in the barn. They get offended if there is ice in their water . A bit spoiled do ya think???
jessica, candy duell & stacy – I’m with you, I’d make a lousy duck!patti – your animals are all fantastically spoiled, as they should be 🙂 Any ducks I have that originally came from you are probably wishing I’d give them back!
What kind of ducks are these? They *are* pretty.Sarah
sarah – these are Muscovy ducks, and yes they are pretty to look at 🙂
