Last Week:
There were not many birds out last week. Or people. The walk through the snow at Schlitz Audubon was beautiful! We had plenty of time to look down and enjoy the ice stars. They are a natural phenomena that occurs:
when a hole in a recently-frozen lake allows water to swell up from beneath and spread over the snow-covered surface, leaving dark “fingers” of melted ice stemming from a central point. From https://physicsworld.com/a/icy-stars-reveal-the-secret-of-their-patterns/
