Hi all,
Made short outtings in the bitter cold to check the ducks. Canada Geese and Mallards were the most abundant at Black Hill Regional Park. The American Coots came close to me along the bank, and were very entertaining trying to walk on the ice.
Reilly's Lock was quiet, no waterfowl except for 1 Ring billed Gull. Two duck hunters were loading their boat on a trailer.
Black Hill (Little Seneca Reservior) Lake frozen mostly with small open pockets.
