Camera Critters # 92 - Mallard Ducks

Camera Critters by Misty Dawn, go here to see who's participating.

The ducks in my header where closely congregated in Fish Creek. This is looking North and upstream. You can see how many ducks are located near the bridge. You can click on the photo to get a closer view. One of the people that  guesses the correct number of ducks will get a framed photo of my header. Just put your guess in the comments.

You can see the one unusual color phase of the Mallard Female Duck at the top right.

I went to the downstream side of Fish Creek looking South and some of the ducks flew a little ways.

They settled in fairly quickly and allowed for some photos.

They are very comfortable in the cold water and the water just rolls off their back. Their duck down keeps them warm and they can just sit still in the water.

You can see a lot of neat critters at the above Meme.

Header Competition # 13

The header theme this week by Mac from England is "ICE". Mac,Tom, Darla and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. Go to the other sites to see their interpretation of this weeks theme.

I have had a lot of ice hanging from my roof line. It does cause some problems.

It can build up as all the snow on the roof melts.

The little stream down the road is open but has ice on the banks.

The photo of the "Mallards On Ice" I liked best became my favorite and became my header.

My world has completely changed to a winter wonderland. The house is being blanketed with snow on the roof on the North side.

The South side of the house is turning into a ice cycle forest.

Camera Critters # 91 - Whitetail Deer

Camera Critters by Misty Dawn, go here to see who's participating.

We got quite a bit of snow and the Whitetail Deer are having a harder time in finding food. This one came right up to my feeder near the deck to feed. I was above it in an upstairs window. Until I made major movement it stayed right there.

Can you see her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth?

She even cleaned up what had spilled.

She went right back on top. She learned quite quickly how to tilt the feeder to get some more seeds. 

Is that the dog next door barking?

You can see a lot of other great sighting of critters above.
