The Big Pond is still half-covered with ice and the ducks are getting pretty daring. I had a good chuckle at the antics of a group of American Coots today. With their huge feet, surely they are the clowns of the pond.

Yikes, I've run out of ice! What to do? What to do?


All right. Who turned on the tap? What's up with all this water?


Me? I'm walkin' on sunshine, la-la-la.


Okay, my feet are cold. Like ice, even. And I've got a LOT of foot!


Well hi there, Cutie! Whatcha' doin' down there?


Uh oh. I think I'm frozen to the spot.


There's that Cutie again. hey Babe - wanna do lunch?


Okay, I've had enough of this.
Someone call the Helicopter Rescue Squad!


Don't bother me. I've got Coot Things to do.
Gotta go. Gotta be off. Yep. Uh huh.
