Wildlife
This year Deer, Fox, Turkey, Kingfisher, Ruffed Grouse, and Woodchuck have all been seen or heard. Ruffed Grouse make a noise with their wings that is so low that it sounds at first like your heart beating. Turkeys are very common, roosting in the trees. Mallard Ducks raised a family on the pond, as did Canadian Geese. The geese walked away for (literally) better pasture when the young were old enough to waddle. Usually a Giant Blue Heron will show up at the pond in the middle of the summer.
