Pancake ice is definitely something you don’t want to walk on but great for breaking up and clearing a little hole for hunting ducks, geeses, and legal fowl. The birds will lift off feeding grounds and be look for water and those little broken holes become a warzone! Had that exact scenario in Stuttgart, AR 2 years ago and it was the most incredible duck/goose hunting I’ve ever experienced.

Just don’t shoot those MAGA Swans. They are federally protected!!

Haha. Make Duck Hunting Great Again! Great to hear from you, Phaedrus.

The icy waters dont bother the birds. Not cold wimps.

Aggie કહ્યું...

I was just thinking about this yesterday, looking at the pictures and wondering if any ice had become established yet. Won't be long now.

Smilin' Jack કહ્યું...

Wow…I lived in Madison for years and I don’t think I ever saw swans on Mendota. Another scene from the Global Warming horror movie.

There are swans on the lake! I heard what sounded like geese coming. I looked up and a flock of, I thought, white birds, were flying in the V-formation. They didn't go overhead, rather aways off, so didn't get a good look, but I wondered if they were swans.

Who is Silvia? what is she, That all our swans commend her?

MadTownGuy કહ્યું...

Surf's up.

Rusty કહ્યું...

You know it's really cold up north when the swans arrive. I haven't seen any goldeneye yet, but they can't be far behind.
I don't wake up anymore at zero dark dark and twenty degreesF just to struggle into insulated underwear and waders to sit in a blind and watch Venus disappear as dawn breaks.

Why is there a tank in the lake?
