The Class of '25 includes a wide ranging diversity of life on Slough Pond, all interconnected. Here is an earnest duckling from a family of 6, once 7. There is one other family of 4, once 9. Mallard hens are incredible mothers, protecting and teaching their broods, tirelessly.
I recently learned that there is a freshwater mussel called the Alewife Floater which has a particular relationship with our ponds' alewife population. A fascinating talk was given by MassWildlfe at the APCC's beautiful new barn last Friday. The intricacy and interrelationship of our biodiversity is a fascinating subject. APCC is honing its Biodiversity initiative and calls on all citizen scientists to participate.
