Mr. and Mrs. Duck have come calling. They've been out in, or by,
the pond, at least, four times that I've seen them.
They don't seem very impressed by the labradors. Yesterday
the yellow lab ambled over to the pond, grazed on some grass
and never noticed the ducks. Tonight the ducks napped while
the dogs were on the deck crunching up their kibble.I'm not sure
where this is leading but they're kind of fun to have around.

What a great pic! The noisy Canadian geese were at the neighbor's stock
pond for awhile but moved on now. We do see a turkey around his pond and
think she's nesting nearby in the dense brushy woods. What's very odd this
spring is NO FROGS singing and croaking and rasping in his or my ponds. I
found 2 dead frogs in the small 150g pond we're removing. We have no idea
what killed them. :*(
