Won’t be long, now

Posted on March 18, 2021 by Lake of the Falls in Mercer, Wisconsin

Di Schuett sent these photos she took yesterday at the north end of Lake of the Falls showing a little bit of open water, a migratory pair of Common Goldeneyes, and half a dozen swans a-swimming. And, according to the 2021 Hummingbird Spring Migration Map, our tiny feathered overlords are moving into Tennessee today on their way back to our feeders.

Ice off may be a little late this year…

…but that didn’t keep this lucky otter from finding a delicious meal below the ice on April 4th! I was lucky enough to have my camera out as he brought this snapping turtle up onto the shore at the north end of the lake and gorged himself on fresh meat. When an eagle and some crows arrived he relocated to the middle of the lake, finished eating, and dropped the carcass back into the water. No free meal for the birds, who looked a little disappointed!
