Geocache Description:


One of the rare birds bred by Pilling, a Hooded Merganser male. This cache is placed next to a small neighborhood treasure – Pilling’s Pond. The pond was created over the years by Charles A Pilling (1911-2001), who at the age of twelve started digging a small pond in the backyard of his home to care for three injured mallard ducks.


His passion for waterfowl grew – and so did the size of the pond. Today the pond is a sanctuary for numerous rare waterfowl.

Based on some cachers' logs it seems like the caretaker Dave is aware of the cache, which is on public property.

You can read more about the site's history here.
