Single Digit Lows Have Waterfowl Going, Going, Gone?

These geese were flying out to feed this morning.
The lakes in Minnesota are pretty much locked up in ice due to a recent cold front.  Most of the ducks have left the state save for hardy northern mallards, common mergansers, and goldeneyes that overwinter on the river.  In Minnesota, we are fortunate to have a large Canada Goose population willing to stick around during the winter months.  These geese will roost on the larger rivers and lakes receiving warm water discharges; and, offer field hunting opportunities in the morning and evening hours when they journey to cornfields to stuff their crops with spillage.
