    I was at the local bird sanctuary, watching the usual suspects, when I was very surprised to see a wood duck pop out of the water and pose for me. Although they are occ. seen during the spring and summer there, a winter visitor is rare. 5 degrees F, so a bit nippy.

    As low as I could get at that site because of the fence.

    A wonderful surprise. Love the light, the snow, the POV and the pose. TFS
