Confused

Sub-zero temperatures on the day I took this shot. Ice was slow to melt but when it did, it created a clear pool of water that reflected the snow-covered tree branches above. Cool wind stirred the pool and created interesting patterns in the reflection. These ducks were not really confused seeing this reflection - but when I was observing them hesitating to get into the pool, it appeared so to me!

Comments welcome.

Great observation and a most amusing interpretation too.  Could it be the their hesitancy was more to do with getting even colder! 

Compliments!
