Hi, all-

I heard a part of a garbled sory that hinted at something strange having happened at Sullivan's Pond in Dartmouth. 

Apparently there were some fireworks there in recent weeks, perhaps to mark the inauguration of a fountain which now graces the pond. I gather that, perhaps the next day, some ducks were found dead. Questions were asked regarding a possible link between the fireworks and the dead ducks.

That was the gist of the story. Does anyone have any facts?

Regarding the fountain - any idea what happens when water is sprayed onto birds at sub-zero air temperatures?

Peter Payzant
