Yesterday it was -30 degrees C when I went for a short walk.
Saw lots of Canada Geese having an arctic blast.
Goldeneye and Long-tailed Ducks are enjoying the icy waters of Lake Ontario!

The genus name Bucephala is derived from the Greek word boukephalos
meaning 'bullheaded' or 'bull head'
Long-tailed Ducks breed in the tundra and taiga regions of the Arctic
Compared to other ducks, the Long-Tailed Duck is the only duck that uses its wings to dive
So they can dive deeper, as deep as 400 feet!
This duck species is considered as vulnerable.
