Has anybody drove into the potholes to see if any of the lakes there are froze?

On a sidenote. Lots of bald eagles to be seen along the snake river this time of year. Some will even pose for you if you dont move too fast. I also saw a couple weeks ago on the road into Dalton lake a family of short eared owls. Ive never seen them before, though I have read they do inhabit the area.

I don’t know for sure, but there’s a good chance they are frozen as well.
