Mallards on the Crow River ~ January 25 [9]

New London, Minnesota

Mallards on the Crow River below the Mill Pond Dam. It has to get pretty cold to freeze over the Crow River below the dam. It was around 10F (-12C) with a windchill of -25F (-31C) when this image was taken. And yet it didn't seem to bother the ducks at all...

Nikon D200 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/200s f/7.1 at 400.0mm iso800 full exif

I can never understand how ducks fall asleep standing on ice... surely their feet must be freezing?! Lovely crisp shot!

And we have virtually identical ducks here in Scotland - perhaps the same ones !
