Last Saturday was Aug. 18 not the 19th. Likewise my "Aug. 20" reports were really for Aug. 19, a.k.a. Sunday - Perhaps I was still reeling from the well-cooked cellophane enveloping my Easton Denny's sausage from earlier that day. Continuing on, my observations at Hurlock W.W.T.P. also need some tidying up. The Ruddy Ducks favor the southeast impoundment. The much-celebrated scum, or algal mat, or whatever it really is, is in fact at the northeast corner of the southwest pond, where I assume it owes its presence to the prevailing summer southwesterlies. The other reports, I would submit, are without blemish. In my experience the two eastern ponds usually have the most birds. Last year the Eared Grebe was in the southeast pond, where the 2 Black Terns were last Sunday. Does anyone know what species of turtles live in that stuff? I've been assuming they are Painted Turtles but they look a little big. Thank you for your forbearance. Best to all.-Harry Armistead, 523 E. Durham St., Philadelphia, PA 19119.
