This is what we look like this morning.  Not a lot of change that we can see, at least.  There is a strong wind out of the south that could be moving the ice floe very slightly, and that could help in the process of weakening the ice.  

There are lots of geese in the area.  I can hear them honking, probably enjoying the open water at the north end of the pond where the channel enters.  We hope they do not decide to nest here - they have been a big problem in the past.  With luck, they are just resting on their way somewhere else.
