Water Is Receding ~ Any Day Now...

Things have quieted down quite a bit at Mill Pond when we made a visit at 4:30pm today.

The water level in the pipe going under Route 28 is about 1/2 way up the pipe [on Wednesday after the heavy rain it was almost to the top]. I expect the herring to arrive any day now.

Note to counters: Wait for an email from me for instruction as to when to start counting. Since we lost a whole week of scheduled counts, I may have to ask that you 'return' them so we can use you at a later time. We'll ask you in the email we send you. Those haven't been scheduled yet will receive them early Saturday [we we're waiting on some stragglers].

About the swans: Several people asked what happened with the swans I wrote about on March 18th. Well the kids are gone and the hen can be seen in the video below building her nest in the very northerly end of the pond [out of public view].
