Default finally got the pump going

Due to a lot of boy scout activities and remodeling during
youngest spring break and sprinklers in need of major
re-engineering - the pond fell to the bottom of the list.
Thankfully it has been way to cold here for spring.

Today, after some fits and starts and major cleaning
and threats - the waterfall is back on :-))
The fish love the waterfall buffet of insects and tasties
that come down off the rocks.
Lots of frogs were watching the whole affair, insects
swarming around. Today I saw the squirrels, quail
and magpies all at the pond at the same time.

This is a backyard wildlife pond so all critters are welcome,
even the luckless heron who has yet to catch anything or
even spook the fish. Not sure if it is the depth, the way
it is built, the big growth of camboda on the surface or
just an untalented bird.
