Spring Thaw At Dusk

Took a drive tonight to get out of the house. The sun had already gone down, but the sunset was magnificent again, and the lake has finally started to thaw these past several days. There are birds in the open water - Canada geese, cranes, and ducks so far. I didn't have my zoom lens and many had gone elsewhere, but I heard there were hundreds during the day, so will return there tomorrow. I was tromping around with my camera near shore when a young native fellow came roaring by on an ATV and came over to see what I was up to. He looked to be about 12 or so, and was a wealth of information. He then began calling to the geese and ducks and some swam closer. He was pretty good at it too...
