there is birds in one pic on the ice... not water... the lake has a layer of ice right across.... why would the birds just sit on the ice?

Stupid birds should have gone south with the old people.

No snow cover and chilly nights are going to make for fantastic early ice this year. Woo Hoo!

Thanx for the report. I'll be heading up to the cabin (skeleton) next week for four days. See many grouse? there isn't as many as there was 4 or 5 years ago.

I was around Long Lake today. There are not even as many grouse as last year.
The ice is nice and clean and smooth like ABB's pictures.
Three coyotes looked sort of mangy. Their hides should look better at this time of year
