A small but hardy group of Peterborough Field Naturalists (PFN) braved the snow and cold conditions while birding along Rice Lake. Despite the snow, we were able to identify several species of waterfowl including large numbers of Hooded Mergansers. The steady snowfall forced an early retreat back to the warmth of home.
