During these chaotic times when powerful leaders strive to disrupt, I find comfort in the fact that at least Nature is trying keep to an even keel. Two of my regular water fowl species have returned to my pond to breed in the Spring. Above is a photo I took of the Mallards. The green-headed male is pretty evident, and if you look in the lower left, you can see the female.
The other day I was also pleased the hear the honking of a pair of Canada Geese as they maneuvered along their flight path so they could splash down on the pond. I am hoping to soon see the Wood Ducks, Hooded Mergansers, and Barrow’s Goldeneyes, who also frequent the pond in the Spring.
I had my pond dug in 1993 to create some habitat for wildlife, and in the thirty years since it has given me much satisfaction, to see the wildlife it has attracted.
