Draining dams - unless one gets lots of cold temps before we get an y snow, the lower portion of the dam does not freeze and is then later insulated by the snow, so the water contiues to leak out without any coming in. This is what I see happening to my water levels and as I said before, I don't have a lot of otter to do this to me.At the same time, when the water goes, guess what happens to the feed raft. Well they loose most of it and IMO this has a bearing on litter size and population in general. But there are prob others who have diff. thoughts.
