Yes, Amy . . . I did an early evening walk about 10 days ago before going to the Barracudas’ rugby match (“we” won — 62 - 10), & there were a lot of birds in flight among the many shrubs bordering the pond. The pond’s small island also holds promise as a sanctuary of fragile species. The refurbished pond is, I think, a great gift of the Collectivié, M. Abramovich, & David & Jane Matthews.
