Even though large Horseshoe Lake is now ice-free, my pond is still covered with ice. This always seems illogical to me, because I would assume that a small body of water would melt before a big one, but obviously, that is not the case.
It seems like Spring is really slow in coming this year, probably because about half of our property still has snow on it, but it is starting to disappear rapidly. In checking back I discovered that my pond melts anywhere between March 27th and April 22, so I guess this year is not that unusual.
The photo shows a pair of Mallards swimming in the little bit of open water that can be found along the edges of my pond.
