It is ironic that school is in session during the long, cold days of mud season, but not now--when campus is in full bloom.
Three weeks ago, as students were packing up for home, traffic was stopped on Main Street (near Eco-dorm) as a gaggle of Lesser Canada geese marched from the graveyard in search for a home.
They found what they were looking for in Proctor Pond, where they have taken up residence.
Young members of Proctor Child Care marched across campus recently, looking for a grassy place to run around. They found it on Farrell Field.
Swallows, which have moved into the many bird boxes across campus, fly low over the field, and these boys spent a minute chasing them at full speed.
Yet another gaggle flocks to Carr Field on Monday and Thursday evenings at 6:00 to run around.
Due to their numbers, this species plays a wholly unique form of soccer. It is a game that attracts faculty, current parents, alumni/ae, local students, and kids who will be Proctor students when the geese fly south for winter.
