Today at the TCAAP WVA, I saw an Old Lodge

We got our first measurable snow at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area yesterday.  Looks like about an inch on the bridge.  The lake was mostly frozen but there are a few open spots...not enough for the ducks and geese to land.

I believe this is an old muskrat lodge on Lake Marsden (note the small trees growing out of it. I've never heard of beavers in there but suppose it might be possible. At the base of the lodge is a platform that was place there for nesting common loons.

Here's another landscape from the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area. This is a intersection of gravel roads on the far end of the lake.
