View 313: Ice Bird

On a very un-winter like day, I visited the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York and received free admission with my Zoo Photo Contest coupon. With temperatures reaching the mid-fifties, there was little to no snow to use for backgrounds.  The duck pond still had lots of ice.  It is where I found this fella trying not to slip as he made his way to the open water.
