Duck Pond Green Heron - by Justine Kibbe

Duck Pond Green Heron - by Justine Kibbe

I’m delighted to know that our Island’s favorite Duck Pond is a real local hangout for returning bird residents.

This shy bird can still be observed on a shadowy mud flat, a few yards in on your right; Bell Hill Ave.

Hornet's nest

Rounding the bend on Bike Path, Pickett Landfill-

Female Sulphur butterfly. Perhaps laying eggs on the leaf of the Black Locust. Some Sulphurs migrate South for the winter, although not as far as monarchs.

Bring. Butterflies. Back.
