The lake shook off the ice coat last week. Like that, a completely new palette appeared. Two weeks ago, ducks glided purposefully into the small spots of open water. Now, they are liberated. They dive into the water like torpedos. Are they starving this time of year? Mallards have always seemed lazy and slow. Idyllically perched in some small marsh water, moving achingly slow like Sunday strollers. What gives?
Spring brings change
