Well, it’s been a busy day or two around the pond.
A family of northern mocking birds has taken up residence with the tuberous begonias in one of our hanging baskets. Lots of action out there. I think we may be parents. Gotta be careful not to water the kids in the process of tending the flowers. Ever see a pissed off mocking bird? Scary!!
The lawn was mowed yesterday. As usual, the grass carp followed along at edge of the pond and wolfed down almost every blade that was kicked in by the mower. Within a half hour, they had cleaned the pond surface of all of the leftovers. Even the bass made a good day of it, snatching up every unfortunate grasshopper and cricket that fell within range. Doesn’t seem like much of an event to us, but to the carp and bass, after a long cold winter in a state of suspended animation, this had to be an absolute bacchanal.
Given the 98 degree heat, the pond has been quite an attraction to the animals. Deer have been staying close and we’ll probably see a few more bears. In fact, thanks to Mother Nature (and you can take that any way you want) I saw a mama bear and a 2mo. old cub at this morning. Sort of double my pleasure, if you will.
The heat was enough to drive us from our usual observation post on the porch, somewhat limiting our range of observation. However, when I braved a brief foray out the door to check the heat, I saw a dragon fly chasing mayfly and they were both walking. No, really.
