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.

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.
