Tomorrow we're off to NH again for another little vacation week of hanging out in a nice cold lake with friends. I certainly hope the Parks Dept. doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to do any more secret, dead-of-night, nefarious activities. Coming back Saturday night, so the next Park Watch will be on Sunday.
Today, it looks like the ducks are taking the back the lake. When the geese were here, and since the geese were killed, the ducks have been hanging out mostly at the fringes of the lake, in the Lullwater, and by the Boathouse. Now it looks like they're returning to the middle of the big lake. Nature does indeed abhor a vacuum. Still no sign of any male mallards.
The Brooklyn Paper had a nice little article about the geese memorial. http://brooklynpaper.com/stories/33/30/dtg_deadgeesevigil_2010_07_23_bk.html
They estimated the crowd at over 100. Maybe my estimate of 200 was a bit high, but not too bad, I think.
And people do seem to be trying to keep the Park clean - many, many bags piled, but all right next to the trash cans. Now it's up to the parks Dept. to get to them before the raccoons do.
