Dear Tweeters,

I received 32 messages with suggestions for where the Thornton Creek Elementary School fist grader could find his lifer Wood Duck.

If you will pardon me I would like to thank all of you this way, rather than individually.

Many great suggestions that made me slap my forehead (duh!), and several of you mentioned the great back-up (but less natural setting) of Pillings Ponds (again, duh!).

Thank you for coming through for us.
