When I was first learning to bird in the summer of 2013, I spent a summer living with my fiance in Virginia Beach. Little seemed to have changed, other than a brand new LEED-certified environmental center that had been built near the terminus of the protected area.

I also enjoyed reading the company histories of familiar brands like Duncraft, Kaytee, Droll Yankee, and Wagner all of which started as family companies, some as offshoots of other businesses, some as the result of clever inventions. Fish and Wildlife Service. The story of Duncraft is a good example.
