I guess I'll see you and raise you one! Yesterday we had one female broad-tail,
today we have two. Both are only visiting flowering plants in the yard, neither
has been to the feeder, at least not that I've seen. And of course, if they get
within eyesight range, they chase each other

Just after my last post, the Brant swam across the lake and is currently on the

Hi Thomas,
A couple of things about Aurora Reservoir that I should have noted in my post,
just to let folks know. First, as I know you and your grandfather know,
everyone should remember that this is a fee area. Aurora takes this seriously.
Secondly, in my post today, I neglected to say that
