Ernie and I headed for Nimisila yesterday with the hopes of open water. We were not disappointed, while there is still ice around there's also open water. 3 ospreys around their usual nest areas and a bald eagle sat nice up on a dead tree in the wind allowing for some photo ops. Lots of other waterfowl including a common loon, hooded mergansers, ring necked ducks, scaups, red heads, goldeneyes, American wigeons, red neck grebe, eared or horned grebe (not sure which) and I'm sure some others I'm forgetting.
