There were many waterfowl, from buffleheads to swans, at the Carlos Avery South Pool this morning. The pool is still mostly frozen, the birds are concentrated in the open water above the dam. Take Stacy Trail (Co Rd 19) east from Stacy about a mile and then take the first sand road to the south (right).
The gates on the Anoka County side are still closed to motor vehicles, and probably will be for at least another week. The roads are in poor condition for vehicle travel. But it is a great time to walk or take to your fat bike to experience the sights, sounds, and scents of spring.
