Hi Dan and Doug,
Connie’s map that you linked in your email is very useful. It is true that
it doesn’t include all of the more recent name additions. The Sink is a
small seasonal pond that is between the Bathtub and Carp Pond. It’s small
enough to generally not have much activity, but there has been a Northern
Waterthrush in the area the last two days, found by Alec Roseto. It was
last heard on the north end of Carp Pond around 8am this morning, where it
was foraging for at least an hour.
