I seem to remember one of our forum members seeing some in the spring of 07 or 06 around Delta City. Can't remember who it was.

We've seen them the past 2 years in this one spot, but this was early,early in the year.

Exactly the same way I drink coffee (gotta be Community) when I've got ducks sitting in the dekes...except different. Guess some folks don't know what that's like either. 8) :wink:
