Tufted Duck

........ I decided to go out to the lake for some fresh air and exercise ;-) despite the thermometer in the car telling me it was 7 degrees, it was absolutely bone chilling ...... so just a quick walk and a bit of a chat with a couple of the familiar faces that also visit the lake was more than enough for me, brrrrrr :-/

There were not so many birds on the water today - probably tucked away somewhere warmer ............. well, it was cold enough to turn their beaks blue, lol ;-))
