The pond at James Gardens only rarely freezes totally over as there is always water running down a hill into it. The ducks take advantage of the bit of open water and gather around it. They don't seem to mind the ice.

Every winter there seems to more and more ducks staying for winter.
There are many of them;-)
Hello :=)
Beautiful capture of the Mallard Ducks, no, water fowl don't seem to mind walking on ice.
I envy their ability to adjust to the cold. I wish I was better at that.
Great photo of the Ducks!
Have a wonderful weekend!
They love it and it sure makes a pretty picture!
We both are featuring ducks today. This is a happy flock of Mallards enjoying a bit of open water. There must be food for them nearby.
I am going to consider this an early spring scene! Nice picture
Their feet lack muscles but skin on bones. How can they stay on the snow?
Ducks really seem unbothered by the cold water or weather.
Quite a crowd.
that is quite a duckery. Hey! I like that word.
What a congregation, beautiful pic!
It is impressive how well they tolerate the cold.
I really like this busy photo, with each one doing their own thing. It should be a puzzle it's that cool!
We'll meet down on the ice. Great pic, Pat
That looks super cold. Glad the ducks have some unfrozen water to bathe in.
