Hi Jim,

Janice MacDonald is very receptive of people watching the birds here,
please continue to see her for permission. It is great to be able to visit
here without having to sneak past locked gates.

Today Harold Forsyth and I erected three DU duck nest boxes here. We also
surveyed the bird life, we had 27 species. See our eBird report at:

Cheers ,   George
