The ice storm that hit Georgia in late January this year made a big mess at Dauset Trails. The broken branches resulted in over three days of cleaning.
The small lake near the visitor's center froze over with a thin layer of ice. Our daily feeding of dried corn kernels to the resident ducks created a tuneful surprise. As the hard yellow kernels scattered across the frozen surface, a chime-like symphony sounded from the ice.
The ducks and geese had no trouble getting to the corn. They pushed through the ice from their
water holes to reach the food.
But the squirrels who usually scavenge on the banks, took a little risk and scampered out onto the middle to get the corn. You might say they were walking on thin ice.
