I don't know how animals survive and thrive in winters like we have just been through. Suffering from a bad case of cabin fever yesterday, my wife and I visited a local pond. While there were a few small openings in the surface, most of it was still slushy ice, making it difficult for the birds that were there.
I'm not sure where puddle ducks, such as these Mallards, go when ponds freeze over. I can tell you where they don't go since I have gone on a lot of outings this winter that came up empty.
Better days are coming. By the end of this week, I'll probably be breaking out the lawn mower...
