On todays walk around Island we saw a Partridge standing on a log-we got to see him from start to finish do his "drumming" call.
I don't have very good news about the progress of ice conditions so I thought we would share a wildlife photo-this picture was taken on April 23 rd.(the only nice spring day we have had so far high 17c) There was a dead fish floating past and there was a total of 5 Eagles soaring and diving on it.(double left click on image to enlarge)
In the past 48 hours the lake has risen 2"--When you consider we do not reach our crest till July 01--I think the beaches will be a little shorter this summer--If it ever arrives!!!!!!
On today's boat ride,I made it just past the 2nd green buoy @ Frezell's Island and what I thought was open water on the other side was Just a different color "ICE".
Only short of Bald Island by the word "FRENCH" check your maps.From the "H" looking west towards Queer Island its solid ice.Checked the diary and we are not far off last years mark.

this "ice" your referring to...
its not a reference to schmirnoffs is it?
also...it bears mentioning...today is may 2nd...peter is out of the running for the lake opening...
rick and sharon are still contenders....
Did not venture out today-very windy.Chunks of ice bigger than football fields are breaking off and moving around.Will go out after lunch on 3rd to check things out.
Double click on image and you can see the sea gull flying towards the Eagle.
I think Sharon will be the winner.
