NORMAL, Ill. (AP) A noisy Canada goose squawked its way across Birky Pond as it chased a possible competitor on a recent Friday in March.
“Someone got up on the wrong side of the nest this morning,” observed Janet Beach Davis of the Heartland Community College earth and environmental sciences faculty.
Beach Davis has been working on the greenspace at Heartland since construction began on the campus along Raab Road 20 years ago.
How many people drive by without noticing the 13-acre lake? Birds certainly notice it, especially during migration, when it attracts a large variety of waterfowl.
