Kind of late I guess but I finally got my visual memory set for Common
Merganser, there were at least 3. Lots of canvas backs, kingfisher,
possible yellow rumped warbler but I am still learning those. I didnt see,
or recognize any terns.
also, one woodchuck that seems to live under the stones on the
little promontory of the pond where I used to feed wonderbread to a zillion
ducks when I was a kid. ( which eventually poisoned the water)
there were barn swallows and I think tree swallows there also.
At home in " North" Danby I saw my FOY Phoebe and Tree swallows.
Last year the barn swallows arrived here last weekend, but there isnt much
to eat now.
Does anyone know anything about the martin house rotting away on
a pole by the old duck pond? (Is that Hogs Hole?) I would consider
rebuilding it if there was any chance Martins would occupy it. I have no
interest in providing dwellings for starlings and house sparrows.
