This resident 'dabbling ducks' couple temporarily suspended their daily dabblings this morning hunkering down instead under the oppressive 18°F wind chill, while hastily deconstructing their strategic decision to stay in the Park instead of migrating further south. They showed no concern about the approaching camera lens, (Notice the male's left foot anchored, against the stiff wind, to an underwater branch.) That's, Anas platyrhynous.
