And more good news in this article, if temporary. No flu was expected to have arrived here yet, and this survey of wild birds shows that none did. That means it certainly is safe to swim with the ducks so far and also suggests that there won't be any surprises on Burden Lake. With this monitoring, we will know it is around before it gets here.
I rowed out to the island and third lake and watched the mallards and the geese for a while today. One pair was pretty territorial. I had to go around the ice to get there. It was pretty windy. But it was warm and springlike and the birds were looking mighty fine indeed.
