Big Day on the Pond

Well, it’s been a busy, busy time around the pond during the last couple of days. Doesn’t do much good to bring the suet feeders in at night. The bears around here are so dumb that they mistook two of our hanging baskets for feeders and tore them down. Not much damage to the plants, but I assume that the bear’s self respect suffered a bit. Especially if this was an old sow trying to show the ropes to her new cubs. Hard to maintain discipline when you humiliate yourself in front of the kids. One of the hanging baskets, by the way, has been recently occupied by a pair of birds with plans, I’m sure, to raise a family there. This will involve a little finesse when the plants are watered to avoid an unwelcome bath on the birds. The hazards of being a squatter. The heron flew in early this morning and disappeared. I assumed that it was lurking somewhere at the back of the pond when it flew out of some heavy brush on the island. It landed high in a pine tree where it hung out for a couple of hours before taking off, circumnavigating the house a couple times and returning to the tree. I think it’s still up there. Interesting sidelight–a coyote took a couple of runs through the front yard this morning before loping off into the woods. And the piece de resistance of the day so far: as I was talking on the phone, a large bear walked out of the woods and jumped into the back of the pond. It was swimming in this direction before climbing back onto dry land. We’re wondering if it will show up here, but that was some time ago so it’s probably long gone. Gone but not forgotten.
