Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
I hope I am not jumping the gun by saying this, but I am sad to say that Mike and Sara Buckley, two Allendale mainstays, are moving across the Hudson to be closer to their family next month.
Mike has been a Celery Farm volunteer for many years, mowing the west side of the path and the Butterfly Garden, trimming the phragmites and doing whatever else he could when he could.
That's Mike above, keeping his usual low profile as he battles the phrags.
Sara has been a key member of the Friends of the Lee Library.
They are two terrific people, and they will be missed.
Thanks for all you do, Sara and Mike!
