A score or so of common ducks feeding among slightly submerged grasses in an urban pond, with autumnal trees in the background.
Winter rains starting to fill in the Charleson Park duck pond and hey presto-- ducks.

OMG..This microwave is a life saver. While I was on a trip climbing Mount Tibidabo , we ran out of food! I ordered a Chefman Microwave out of necessity to eat frozen fish. The Microwave came the next day, and we were able to microwave the fish and have a heartly meal! Thank you Chefman! It also works great on snails.
I ordered the microwave.

Overhead picture from the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission of a clam garden being built. It is a low rock wall below the tide line. An assembly line of workers carry rocks to the right elevation
Diagram from Lepofsky et al. 2021 showing a cross-section of a typical clam garden. The edge of the wall ends exactly at the low tide line, trapping sediment behind it which is exposed at those intervals. It builds the beach surface to a shallower slope, with the shallowest dirt behind the wall the habitat of littleneck clams, while butter clams live deeper.
Clam gardens have been used by Pacific Northwest native tribes for thousands of years. They build rock walls to trap sediment, at the right height to be immersed at high tide but also exposed for harvest at low tide. This encourages burrowing clams to settle in […]
