Naming the Lake Appert Stick pile

IMG_6650

On the last weekend  of 2017, several Celery Farm volunteers replenished the stick pile near the Warden's Watch on Lake Appert.

One of the simple pleasures of  summer at the Celery Farm is watching — or photographing –the herons, egrets, turtles and assorted shorebirds that find a perch there.

Does anyone know how the stick pile came to be?

Marsh Warden Emeritus Stiles Thomas says it has been around a very long time, and probably got started after birds started perching on a dead branch that had ended up there.

Perhaps the pile could be henceforth called "Stiles' Sticks"? I'm guessing he'd like that.

    I like “Stiles Sticks”, nice sound and appropriate in part for recognition of his efforts.
