A birding friend commented to me when we were at Broad Cove yesterday that =
we would always see four teal there. I was puzzled by this comment I must =
say until he explained to me the reasoning behind this statement. I natura=
lly was thinking along the line of birds. Well it turns out that for you g=
eneology buffs out there=2C four tombstones exist in the cemetary with Teal=
on them=2C three of which have the spelling Teel. Therefore=2C somewhere =
along the line the name changed. My friend therefore was correct but using=
a morbid sense of humor. Anyhow=2C it is interesting what one picks up fr=
om a day in the field birding and now I'm curious as I've never seen Teal a=
