This morning was the first sign of ice on my lake. Thin, but it was there. 
There were a few spots here and there with open water, but surrounded
completely by ice.  There was a very funny scene.  I have various ducks that
hang around. Mergansers primarily. In one of those open circles of water
(usually right above a spring fed feed) was a lone merganser. What a site.
You'd think the poor thing woke up from a little power nap to find out that it
was trapped as if to say "WTF".  Anyway, I was in a hurry and didn't have time
to take a pic.
