Spring Breakup April 23, 2007
The ice is thawing rapidly now, a pair of Mallard ducks showed up this morning and will probably build a nest in the cove as they did last year, and several Trumpeter Swan flew low over the dock. We hear the sounds of Canada Geese as they circle above in large goups seeking a field to rest and feed before they continue the journey to their summer nesting grounds. This is one of my favorite times of the year in Alaska!
More tomorrow.
