Very busy weekend here, saw 1st. skitter on friday but didn't get bit till saturday and they seem to be bigger this year. Spotted a robin saturday and a pelican on sunday. The frogs started croaking on saturday morning. Friends stopped by in there ice boat from Welcome Channel they said they spotted a bear on there road and saw cormorants in the Manitou. We still haven't heard the call of the loon yet.Took the tracker off the ice April 16. Took the quad off the ice on April 19. We had 1/2" rain on 21st.April 23 the ice has pulled from our shore and sinks where you step. Ice should be gone by month end, I think the lake level is 9 " lower than this time last year. The deer have been trying to cross from F.N. to East Allie, they get to the middle of the narrows and fall in, both times I was watching they managed to crawl back onto ice and walk back to shore. Unfortunatley one didn't make it but she attracted the attention of 6 eagles who have been on scene.
