Following the front page story on Rock Creek in last Thursday’s Frederick News Post, WJZ TV channel 13 in Baltimore sent a crew to do a story on Waterford Park erosion which included interviews with myself, Jen Willoughby, Peter Brehm and Sue Rausch. The crew was in the park for an hour along with the skeeters! They used a few Baker Park shots as well as video shots along Rock Creek.

By the way, great news – the stream erosion-control project will start this year after all. Mayor and Board approval will be needed first when the contract is ready. The work must be complete by March 1. Let’s hope the park dries out a bit so they can get their equipment in without tearing up the turf.
Finally, sunny skies and cooler weather coming. Hooray!!

P.S. Below is a photo by Susan Stokes of one of the monarch caterpillars on milkweed in the park. There are two stands of milkweed in the meadow and one next to our shed. These little guys I believe are the ones that will migrate to Mexico after they become butterflies in a few weeks. Also pictured is a Monarch butterfly in Dave Maloney’s yard.
