Cee Vill and Charlie,

I live in Groton, NY not far from Ithaca, so I looked for that place  
on the map.  It seems to be quite close to Ithaca and Cornell.  Maybe  
one day I can drive by there to see what's going on. Maybe they would  
give me some pheasants to put out by my pond!

In a small effort in the opposite direction, I plan to make a batch of  
blue bird nest boxes to put out this Spring around our field.  We have  
about 20 acres, mostly open, and I think they'd like this place.   
There are a couple of geese that come to our small dug pond  
apparently.  We'll look for them this Spring.

Are there other birds I can easily attract with proper nest boxes?  Is  
it as simple as making the right size hole in the front?

Roy
