**Gordon Rattray paid a visit to the Hillsborough waste
water facility last Thursday to find 40 CANADA GEESE there. He revisited on
Monday with much more activity with 60 CANADA GEESE, a pair of WOOD DUCKS, a
pair of BLACK DUCKS, a pair of MALLARD ducks, 1 RING-NECKED duck male, along
with some probably newly arrived RING-BILLED gulls and 3 overwintering juvenile
ICELAND gulls.
**Dan Hicks shares a photo of a daily visitor to their
Irishtown Rd. yard not far from the Tankville School, a very healthy looking
RED FOX. They also had a herd of 8 WHITE-TAILED DEER in their front yard on
Saturday. Their tracks were still in the snow in their yard on Tuesday when I
dropped Dan's swallow box off.
Dan also comments he is looking forward to the arrival
of HOODED MERGANSERS to a pond on their property soon.
