Deer Crossing the Frozen Water

Just as you are driving out of Nauvoo towards Keokuk there is a little bird sanctuary. The day today was really warm, in the 60's. I noticed the river was still frozen and all the ducks and geese were out laying in the sun. Then I noticed some deer out there too so I hurried and pulled over. I thought they were going to break through the ice. They did but the water isn't deep so it's ok. It is funny watching them trying to avoid getting their feet wet. When I was done watching them I started to pull out onto the highway and I realized there were a lot of cars behind me who had pulled over too. I wish I had a better camera AND a cleaner windshield. I would have climbed out of the car but I was close enough I didn't want to scare them.
