Parts of the stream were frozen, and a spot billed duck walked across a thin sheet of ice. The water still flowed nearby, clear and bright, contrasting with the pale frozen surface. Its orange feet stepped carefully where ice and water met. The duck moved with quiet awareness, choosing each step with caution. Winter had hardened the creek in places, but not enough to stop it entirely. Watching it cross the frozen patch felt careful and composed.
