Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Birding

We have had two Canadian geese dropping by everyday since the ice has been off. 12 degrees this morning so skim of ice is back on the pond. The two geese showed up, skidded across the ice and dropped into the very small hole of remaining open water. I thought they would just leave. I was amazed to see them swim directly into the ice in the side of the hole like miny icebreakers and eventually created a path in the ice in a big loop. They are now happily swimming around and around the loop! Anybody ever see anything like that?

Edit: The path they created is just wide enough for them to get thru.
