Today we have 20 red-breasted mergansers and 25 hooded on our Glebe Creek.
When we moved here 26 years ago we had hundreds of buffleheads, many goldeneyes
and canvas backs. We have not had any of these ducks in 3-4 years. We assume
that the mergansers can live here on the fish, and the absence of all the other
ducks is because of a lack of grass. We used to have oysters growing on our
pilings and many rays and otters. This is evidence of the great degradation
that has occurred in the Bay in just a few years. We are interested if others
have observed the same changes ---Mary and Porter Kier
