Ducks Move into Cornelius Cabin Stopping Short of Invitation
Neighbors reported a wild duck pair lingering around the Cornelius lake home and later entering the cabin, pecking the window and prompting the quick removal by locals. Mr. Cornelius missed a hospital board meeting to address the intruder and suspects the birds entered via the chimney after a pattern of lake-wide sightings. City Patrolman Joe Sisson is warned about riding in the new three wheel police buggy.
