Lake starting to break up

The ice on the lake this AM is all black, with a crack from Outlook Point to Auld Reekie with the wind blowing hard from the south you could just about paddle across the bay. High winds will start to chew up the ice now, tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warm.

Pics are from MacIntosh Creek with the creek starting to show a lot better. The tree looks like has probably been hit by a Pileated Woodpecker looking for grubs. This woodpecker is the largest in Ontario.

It's fascinating that the cavities are so large and close to the ground.

Alot of work for grubs ? Bill: What does Auld Reekie stand for ?
