Morning Glory

Looks like more extremely cold weather coming this weekend to Erie County, Pennsylvania. These shots from last Sunday morning at dawn at Presque Isle Marina, where the air temp was maybe around 4 deg F. On the other hand, little wind, and the sunshine made for good exposure on beautiful birds like this male Bufflehead (right):
