Larry Noonan’s hike this past Saturday attracted 25 people to the Altona Panhandle Forest in the Rouge. They came across two beaver ponds replete with beaver, several bird species including a flicker, a painted turtle…
In a third pond they saw goldfish, presumably dumped there by a well meaning person…but this doesn’t do much good as the goldfish in a small pond eat the frog eggs and tadpoles ultimately eliminating these from the pond.
