From this week’s nest box report:
Ice on the ponds, so we made like the icebreaker ships.
Predictably, we already have one Hooded Merganser nest started, with 6 eggs.
We used nearly all of the chips in the shed, and what’s left we’re going to use to top up a couple boxes next week. So we’ll need a new package of chips in several weeks for replenishing boxes that hatch early this season.
Your coordinator took a tumble climbing out of the new pool by the tower, significantly scraping his dignity….
Thank you, and see you on the 9th!
