Cobourg- There was a bit of slushy ice in the low waves on the shore of Lake Ontario. The birds would swim in close to shore then swim back out again.

Ahmad Shah: Fantastic capture, nice detail.
BrianMorin: This is a common winter duck but in most areas they are very hard to approach. I used some trees and ice encrusted rocks for cover to get shots on a very cold morning.

Ottawa - In winter, in a year when subjects can be hard to find, you take what you can get. What you can't see is the degree of difficulty shooting down on the subject from a pedestrian bridge where the railing interferes with the lens (on tripod) on a brisk winter afternoon at -14C.

Howe Island, Kingston - Yes, I was this close. I looked down alongside the ferry ramp and she was only feet away.

Amherst Island - and finally, one in the air. The ice was thick and filled in the channel as soon as we passed. Ducks are being restricted to remaining open water on the Great Lakes. Only Lake Ontario still has substantial water but the eastern end is frozen in.
