Forecasts call for subzero temps this weekend, and right now the windchill are in single digits after work this afternoon. I took a swing by the Wyandotte Boat Launch at the foot of St. John's and found a small flock of Canvasback and Mallard milling around the dock. The Canvasbacks were already feeling the effects of the wind and were hunkering down in the late afternoon sun.
A pair of Mute Swans ignored the cold and continued to forage just few feet away.
A flock of Redhead flew in but stayed far enough away to avoid sharp photos. But a Common Goldeneye swam by on a mission and provided a pic or two.
Bundle up! Its going to be a cold weekend.
