It was very cold this morning when I paid a visit to Delta Ponds, and never did get above freezing all day. There was still a lot of snow at the Ponds, even though we have only a few spots of it in shaded areas at home. I saw this female Hooded Merganser posed nicely while sitting on a log in Delta Ponds. It seemed to me that it would be an uncomfortable place to sit, as it is covered with ice. Maybe it was stuck to the log! :)
