Rare moving island creates new beachfront

"William Lodi saw it coming. His neighbor even dragged out the camcorder as a tree-covered island slowly and inexorably cruised across the pond to beach itself in Lodi's back yard... With roughly the dimensions of a football field, the island -- complete with nesting egrets, ducks, muskrats and a pair of tub-sized snapping turtles nicknamed Big Ben and Frankenstein -- has been cruising Island Pond for decades."
