Most of Prospect Lake opened Sunday thanks to the warm melt and that attracts duck business.
As multiple 140 plus NORTHERN SHOVELERS scattered about on Prospect Lake, I spotted a drake RED BREASTED MERGANSER in the middle, an uncommon species here in Prospect.Though a common winter offshore species, this merganser is quite welcomed here at the Lake. That's the wonder of a lake that's not completely frozen:it brings in the ducks.
