With the temperature significantly above freezing on a sunny day this large piece of ice was a surprising phenomenon. The black pipe visible at the top of the photograph feeds the water trough in the background. A small leak in the pipe seems to have been responsible for creating the large chunk of ice, presumably when the temperature had plunged well below freezing overnight.
