• Flock of geese flying north

• treated two Fire Ant mounds on River Trail with 'Orange Guard'

Caretakers note: 

Non-toxic fire ant treatments can be hard to find. If available, we use Orange Guard- it is a liquid that is mixed with water and poured around the perimeter and into the mound. It leaves a pleasant scent  so that the area can be used right away.

• saw a large Rock Squirrel run under the deck at the bluff on the steps to the river
