King- we have mallards, a few mergansers and buffleheads, and Canada Geese galore here during the winter months-unless the river that borders our property freezes over- then they move South- We are also in the Atlantic flyway. There may be future concerns about outdated septic systems in a near-by subdivision, and some farm land run off's- but as there are no dairy farms nearby, manure run-off into the local watersheds is not of concern.

Nature as her own system of checks and balances, does she not? A cat-tail marsh is her idea of a filtration plant- has worked for years.
