Seven Mallards(5m,2f) & one m Ring-necked Duck were located near the Beaver lodge on Laurel Lake. I couldn't locate the Pied-billed Grebe that was present yesterday. My Dad braved the cold with me yesterday and walked down to the Beaver Pond. The water was open but no waterfowl present. Laurel Lake has about 50% open water today. That may change over-night. I think single digit temps are predicted for tonight. Dave R/Breaks
