Coot on ice! - # 09/17
Don't you just love his huge feet, his little red cap, his shiny black feathers, and admire the way he toughs out the frozen lake regardless of wind and weather?

Lovely photo!
ReplyDeleteare you sure he's not stuck there?
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic capture! I love the reflection!
ReplyDeleteNeat photo is a reminder of the hard times wildlife has in the winter.
ReplyDeleteWater birds and lots of animals have a difficult time getting along at this time of year. Sometimes it is their food source is frozen over or their drinking water is ice. It is a shame that more people do not care to think about Nature and the problems snow and ice makes for the things in the environment.
Oh wow, what a fabulous shot. Bet you are now glad you are living in the Antarctic! Love the image with that amazing reflection.

Magnificent picture! I'd frame it! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteN'est ce pas un kiwi ? Que fait-il ici ?
ReplyDeleteEs-tu sûr que ce soit de la glace ? Ne serait-ce pas plutôt de la boue épaisse et glissante ?
Une belle photo toute simple. Une "nature vivante" en opposition à une "nature morte", avec beaucoup de "sentiment"
