Saturday morning walked down to Lake Hanley and found open water near the boat docks and along the canal. Half dozen Common Mergansers and several Bufllehead, 8 Hooded Mergansers (1 male), two Common Goldeneye. At the bridge of Intermediate Lake saw several more Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead and Common Mergansers. Spent the morning digiscoping and got some keepers.
The sun finally came out in the afternoon, and it got very mild (40’s). There’s about a foot of snow left on the ground but its melting quick.
