Back in January, on the 24th, I posted about a ride we took to Lake of the Lilies in Point Pleasant.
I shared some of what we saw here.
The entire lake was frozen...I assume it still is.
Along the shoreline of the lake, there were very small patches of water that had not frozen.
The few ducks and coots we saw were hanging out there.
Today...I am sharing the rest of the pictures from that day.
These are not the best pictures,
the sun has been missing for so long, but they are clear images of some of the winter ducks I see.

Very nice pictures. They all look tired. I can relate to that feeling
Your ‘not the best’ look marvelous to me.
So beautiful.
Dear Debbie!
Your photos, as always, are of excellent quality. It's a real pleasure to view them. The birds are beautiful, despite the winter.
Have a wonderful and happy weekend!
I agree with others, beautiful. You capture such detail in their markings and expressions. I like the Redhead duck. She looks rather content with herself.
You challenged me today! Those hens are a little harder to identify, but I guessed each one of them correctly before seeing the answers.
Even these ducks look cold. Your photos are the best. I always enjoy them. thanks.
Lots of pretty feathers. Can we presume we shouldn't get into an arguement with the pretty little red-headed duckie? Linda in Kansas
Your pics never disappoint. Wonderful.
The textures, colors and patterns on the brown ducks are neat- merry weekend!
Everything is frozen here.

Lovely ducks!
Oh my Debbie, thanks you've brought nature and lovely ducks to the surface and filled our thoughts with joy and the beauty that is waiting around us. Your captures are so delightful. Enjoy this Sunday and bring us some more simple joys of life that are so important.
They are great pics even without the sun, some of them have great reflections too!
Always a joy to see ducks and coots up close.
