Okay, this time it was with gaiters and microspikes, due to the freezing rain on top of 12" of snow! Most of the open water was frozen, which really seemed to irritate the wading birds. Not sure where all the migratory waterfowl went; only a few were left. Ski and snowshoe tracks marked the trail today. Really excellent prescription for cabin fever!
