We've had many Hooded Merganser's hanging around Merrymeeting for the past few weeks. Images here and in Photopost.
Surprisingly, still no ice forming on the lake, though I expect it could happen quickly. Hopefully these guys get out of here before it happens. Especially with the storm predicted for the next 24 hours.
Even more surprising to me was seeing several ice fishermen, and even a bob house, on the ice on the Merrymeeting River. Given the lake has still not frozen, and the fact there are still lots of open areas on the river, I have to say it shocked me to see them out there.
