The ice melted enough so that the duck decoy that marks the diffuser in the deep water was mostly showing. Warm sun today or warm weather last night melted enough ice around it so it's not frozen into the ice any more. Either last night or today I'm guessing a hawk or owl thought it was a real duck. It's now laying on top of the ice with the rope pulled up a foot or so. laugh


My mom put little bird figurines in a bay window at their house when I lived there and a hawk crashed into the window trying to nail it. I found him outside with a really bad headache. We finally convinced my mom to remove the birds after it happened a second time. Don't know if it was the same bird or not.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
