Today there was little at Caesar Creek but the end of duck hunting and the breaking of the ice cover promises better birding. By the beach there was a fairly large group of Coots, some swimming and some walking along the edge. From Harveysburg Road I saw only a small group of Black Ducks and Mallards along with some Ring-billed Gulls. Barring another deep freeze I expect lots of waterfowl though it will be impossible to tell which way they are headed.
