A Land of Ice and Snow - Bird View

[yourlibrarian]

Some may remember that a while back I posted a set of pics about crows keeping one another from drinking spots on the ice. As it has gotten colder at night, more of the lake has frozen over, so that the icy edge is now extended.



Still, these crows were on the job of creating their own tiny ice holes, as seen in the last pic. The light was great for photos this day -- I included the third photo largely because it had turned the bird's legs silver.





The wind is currently howling by my window though it doesn't look so bad outside. But it's cold enough that this ice floe the ducks are on is a solid sheet covered in snow at the moment.
