Birds today (December 30, 2022)

One of the small lakes (in the nearby city) has so many waterfowl on it, they have been able to maintain a small area of open water...despite last week's record cold. 
I went there this afternoon for a while and need to go back when the sun is shining. 

Male common goldeneye ... looks suspiciously like it might be wanted for some sinister crime 


Female mallard. She was chilling in a shoreline boulder.

You have such a variety of birds in your neck of the woods Clive. Wonderful photos once again and that first one definitely has a suspicious look about him...lol.
