This free, hour-long event is a low-keyed celebration of the waterfowl who use the Celery Farm as their bed and breakfast. They fly in around dusk, hence the name. 

Please buy a 2011 Celery Farm calendar while you're there!

Note: The event had been called "Waterfowl at Sunset" and "Teal There Was You," but nobody showed up but the ducks.*

Ducks at Dusk: Sunday, October 24, 5:30 - 6:30 p.m., Celery Farm.

Meet at the Warden's Watch at 5:30 PM (still DST).

Leader: Mike Limatola.

 *Denotes whimsical fabrication



Rob sez:

The new Celery Farm calendars, along with signed copies of "Swan Babies" and "Icky the Hungry Heron,"  will be for sale at the Franklin Turnpike entrance this Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. and 4:30 to 5 p.m.

Profits from the calendar go to the Lillian and Stiles Thomas Scholarship Fund. All proceeds from the books go to the Scholarship Fund and to the renovation of the historic Fell House.

If you can help with sales, please call Stiles Thomas at 201-327-3470.

Artist Muriel Christensen of Houston writes:

"Winter Reflections ( at Celery Farm)," above is from a reflection found in the same spot as a painting I made last year with ducks/mallards.

This was juried into the 2010 Watercolor Art Society-Houston’s Annual Members’ Exhibit among 230 paintings. 90 paintings were selected in the final go-round. Then among those 90,  40 received additional awards.  This one was one of the 40….

(Congratulations, Muriel!)
