I was on Noggles this week Tuesday early and on Grossman and I heard a
whip-poor-will. Made me smile. Also lots of bluebirds, my first Baltimore
oriole too.
Best,
Diana Kern
FYI to All: I am the Executive Director for Legacy Land Conservancy and we
are a new Preserve on Noggles. We would love to get the data on Count
Day. It is not fully open yet but there is lots of activity. On May 10th
we are doing a work day too, but only a few people pulling garlic mustard,
etc. The Preserve is on Sybil Kolon's land and will be called Iron Creek
Preserve. The grand opening will be June 28th.
