Ice Jams Along The Connecticut River

With the deep freeze we had followed by warmer days we've had a lot of ice building up along the Connecticut River. They've been sending ice breakers through to open up the water and then the broken hunks of ice pile up at certain areas along the river. This photo was taken from Haddam meadows.

I've had my eyes open looking around for any areas of open water. 

I found a couple of Ring-necked Ducks in a little patch of open water along a stream at roadside.
