The ducks came back...

I captured a shot of Oscar and Myrtle flying in for a visit. Oliver greets me at the shore. After this, the wind came up, the ice went out.

The ice was still on the lake this morning, Sunday, March 28. Oscar and Myrtle returned this past week. They flew by, only to swim around the point from the other bay. In the middle of our chat, Oscar took off, only to return, quaking loudly. Oliver, ever the busy boy, was on guard.

You're going to get some Spring up there yet! The ducks say so.

That video of the ice breaking up really brought home to me how COLD it is up there -- seemed colder somehow than your real wintery posts
