The Buffleheads' Return. Such a simple source of joy-- After six years--a return to my pond Of the elegant but small black and white Diving duck, arriving momentarily on its Southward migration from the Arctic north. This perky, white-crowned creature of flight Of course, could do nothing else But create joy In the eye of the beholder. Frank Maurer 6 February 2025 1030 Hours.
