Due to runoff from melting snow, there was temporary flooding along the margins of Crescent Lake, with a Great Blue Heron foraging for fish in shallow waters in what would normally be our yard. Large numbers of leaves still adorn many trees. The large number of Wood Ducks that had foraged for acorns in the shallow waters of Crescent Lake throughout the fall have now been replaced by small numbers Hooded Mergansers foraging for minnows.
