I spent all today being part of the search team for the missing Cornell student canoeist, on a boat with the fine Aurora Water Rescue crew from the Aurora volunteer fire department. We combed both sides of the lake from just north of Aurora southward to Sheldrake (and back, and back, and back).

Hi folks, Hattfield Rd is quickly becoming my favorite place to bird. Starting this spring when I found my first ever N.
