Geese on Lake in January


We had some cold, wintry weather and part of the lake froze. Geese and ducks tend to sit on ice at the edge of unfrozen water, when possible.

The tracks along the edge of the lake were probably made by the fox that marched past the trail cam . 



The Canada geese seem to prefer landing and                    taking off on the open water.

Temperatures warmed up today and much of the ice melted. I heard honking outside and saw that geese appeared to be having a party!  They were flying short distances and landing noisily.

Have fun, geese! I like warmer days too!

  1. Linda,

    I'm always in awe how these birds aren't bothered by the icy cold water like this but then that's the way God designed them. You captured some excellent shots of these feathered friends in their beautiful wintry home! Boy, does this ever make me cold just looking at these images!! Thanks for linking and sharing! ;)
