Photo taken at Environmental Studies on the Piedmont just North of Warrenton on what use to be a beautiful rolling hills farm, now a private Environmental Studies area.
This Canada Goose made a clumbsy splashdown onto the nearly melted ice, then scrambled across the surface to open water.
Best viewed in 'original' size.
