Take a hike

Story and photos by Monty Siekerman

The Canadian geese, mallard ducks, black swans, colorful koi and ugly, big carp were well fed Tuesday morning during a nature walk for young children sponsored by the Ada Public Library.

On a sunny morning, 14 youngsters and their parents met at the pond near the Freed Center to feed (and sometimes chase) the feathered friends and throw morsels from the bridge into the water for the fish. The ducks scampered about and so did the kids.

Even the black swans, known for chasing humans and dogs who pass by, were friendly - they wanted the food.

The caboose itself cost $2,000 in 1989 and much more time and money has been spent on restoring and maintaining it over the years.
