There is still a little ice on Boomer Lake, but it is temporarily on its way out.  Therefore, this has opened up the Southern Cove for feeding once again.  Both herons were within a few feet from one another, and only Great Blue Heron had something to eat while I was there.  Many Canvasbacks were on the southeast portion of Goose Island, which allowed an excellent photo opportunity with them, finally.
