Geese & Gulls Reflecting On Ice
Cambridge Creek has had a few thin-ice freeze-overs this past January and February. During those days, the visiting birds would dwindle down to just the gulls and geese.
Watching them rest, walk around, take-off, and land on the ice was interesting to watch. Sometimes they outweighed the ice’s strength.

Bingo! We have water, guys!

The shining sun melting the ice sometimes produced a mirror-effect when the lighting and time of day were just right.
Some of my favorites…..
