I agree, Pecan. My pond was filled in late May last year, and during the summer I acquired bull frogs, leopard frogs, Northern Cricket Frogs (tiny little guys, BIG mouths though!), red slider baby turtle, several infant alligator snapper turtles, dragonflies and who knows what else. I did nothing to bring them, they found me! Weather is beautiful here in IL this morning, very sunny and not too windy yet, so sat on my deck (east side of house) and enjoyed looking at the fish. They are just hanging out on the bottom, but was still nice to see them. All present and accounted for. :razz:
MacGyverish, huh, Pecan? LOL The baby koi love it, and I'm enjoying hand feeding them. Some of them prefer to nibble on my hand and fingers rather than the food. Couple of them climb into the cup of my hand when I feed, too. Only bad thing is that they may come to the edge of the pond if I ever get a heron to come looking for food, so maybe not such a good idea. Going to get some type of outside back yard dog by April to hopefully keep that possibility from happening. :razz:
