River ice has water flowing over it in places and other places under it and still locked in place. Melt down is slow and a lot of snow in the woods. Even in an early ice out, the dispersal is after the middle of the month. So...local beavers get caught, for the most part, in an early ice out. Of course, I'm talking about up here on the border.
We need a week of warm weather and a rainstorm just to cause good ice jams, that take out roads and cause major flooding. One can only hope.

Dad's creek is flowing, but the travelers from the Mississippi haven't made their way up yet, to rebuild the age old dam. As soon as it's rebuilt, I'll know they are back. Let me know if you need help lugging a couple out.

My biggest issue is getting to the places. Too much mud and the land owners don't want me taking any short cuts across their fields. I'm too old and out of shape to carry my equipment that far so will just have to wait for now. On a good note, by the time I can get out there, I'll be able to set some gopher traps along the way!
