I remember Mongo very well. He has been gone a long time, but I always think of him when I see a big domestic Mallard somewhere. A sudden demise could easily be attributed to a Red-tailed Hawk, a coyote, a fox, one of the many minks, or, perhaps, an angry beaver. Kevin From: bounce-70713059

I have photos of him and his sidekick (the smaller Mallard) "Spike" - Margaret Barker and I used to feed them out of the side door of the old Lab of O. He mysteriously disappeared one day…I think he was getting a little too "friendly" for the liking of some. --Terry On Nov 6,

Greetings Cayugabirders, This is a sentimental post for a large farm Mallard that was furtively released on the main pond at Sapsucker Woods back in the 1990s, when I was formally associate with the Lab of O when it was lodged in the old building with a staff of 50 or so. There were a few m

It spun in the water for a couple minutes at one

Hi all, Just a minute ago, there was a lone COMMON REDPOLL mixed in with the many PINE SISKINS at the feeders at the main entrance of the Lab. I had it for about a minute before it flew up over the windows. This is probably the same bird Tom had earlier. -Brad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http:
