But then I was not birding in those mis-spent days of youth. In VT, they are doing quite well and I see them on various lakes or ponds several times a year. A wonderful bird - always makes me think of a primordial time.Chris Petrakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637163831402534158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318346581452834306.post-54913351255348205302009-06-28T09:37:41.508-07:002009-06-28T09:37:41.508-07:00That is so neat the someone built them their float...That is so neat the someone built them their floating nest.
