With the warm weather, the ice on Wascana Lake has been thawing. But in places, it is still frozen, as shown in this photo.
The poor Canadian geese thought they were going to land in open water, instead they broke through the ice. The ice is too thin (and they are too heavy) for the geese to take off. Instead they began to break a path in the ice with the forward momentum of their bodies. Once they reach open water, they'll be able to take off. (You can see the path of broken ice behind them.)
After today, there will be no ice on Wascana Lake; it's supposed to reach 19C.

Those poor geese must be freezing their tail feathers off!
