"YOU KNOW IT'S COLD WHEN ....... "
Trumpeter Swan (Adult) & Muskrat (3 Photos)
I can usually tolerate most temperatures outside but at -29 degrees C with a wind chill factor of -41 degrees C, even I was pushed to the limit. Managed to capture a few shots of the overwintering Trumpeter Swans, who being birds that come down from the far North and the Arctic, probably find these temperatures beach weather.
However, the adult swan, in particular, looked more like an ice sculpture than a feathered creature.
And the muskrat, well it kept swimming upstream against the current. Eventually, it decided to take the quick way home and caught a ride on some floating ice. It was quite amusing at it floated by on its little "ice boat".

Superb photos again. That adult swan is priceless with the icicles. The muskrat couldn’t look more comfortable. Great capture!
