Take Five for Trivia
Definitive answer to last week's trivia question on what kind of mill is McConnell's Mill? Well, EITHER a "rolling" mill (said to be among the first of this type in the country) or a "gristmill" would have been acceptable. Extra points awarded a few savvy readers who also answered the age old additional question of "how much wood could a woodchuck chuck;" for example:
"New York state wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could (and does) chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds." Thanks, Timothy of New Columbia for that comprehensive explanation!
This week is for the birds (as it often is): DCNR's infographic featured below on keeping your feathered backyard friends healthy over the winter includes in its accompanying post from the Book of Faces that this number of bird species are generally found at PA feeders in the winter? How many is that?
