What does your pond look like ... Today?

[RobAmy]

Why am I always the last one to thaw out?

I would be fine with that if I had Moose show up to my pond

 

[MitchM]

My moose are always looking for a safe haven, Rob. I'll let them know you have a vacancy for them.

 

[MitchM]

Cause you live in zone 4 way up north in the cold country...................

Oh right.
It didn't feel like it this year.

 

[j.w]

Yep your practically in the mountainous regions of the Rockies Mitch.
It could be worse.

 

[sissy]

or you could be in Alaska BRRRR.I saw on building Alaska a koi pond ,not sure how they did it but they did

You never had a frog @callingcolleen1 ? Do you ever hear them at night around your area? They were really singing up a storm here last night w/it being so warm yesterday.

Frogs are all two blocks down at the creek. I tried bringing some to pond and they all hopped back to creek. Too many grass snakes in my area I think.

I had the opposite problem, I took one of my bull frogs to my local pond about 1/2 away that was catching and killing birds and it came back to my pond.

But bull frogs are awesome to see, I never get any bull frogs here...

 

[j.w]

I only hear them when we go to the nearby lakes,never actually see them. None at my pond, only well behaved smaller frogs.

I spotted these three masked hooligans across the street this morning and captured this long range blurry shot with my phone, just before they scampered into the woods.

 

[j.w]

Uh oh looks like they might have found some food which will bring them right back again. Cute buggers but can be trouble! Hope they don't find your pond Red

 

[sissy]

uh oh hide everything

Got the Pond(s) up and running, no broken pipes, pumped worked, no leaks, added 100 lbs of crushed oyster shells, fish swimming, tads swimming, birds drinking, it is a good day!

We have a beautiful sunny day here in the low 60s. Many mayfly (Ephemeroptera) species, large and small, hatching today. These delicate relatives of dragon and damselflies, represented by over 2000 species, are among my favorite aquatic insects. The fragile grace of the adult stages lasts anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, dependent on species. Their beauty is truly fleeting...

Cool looking creatures. Wonder what their larvae looks like. Maybe similar to dragon fly larvae.
