Things I witnessed today...

because it is raining.

From my back patio, I witnessed:

*a Great Blue heron catch and eat a small catfish (or maybe it was a brim).

*a Red-wing black bird chase the aforementioned heron.

*a pair of mallards lazily cruising the pond.

*several NOISY Canada geese come and go (lordy, I dislike those birds).

*and last, but certainly not least, a couple of young people fishing at the other end of the pond.

I'm still waiting for our bullfrogs to make their annual appearance. That's when I know that warmer weather is here to stay. Hmmm...I wonder if we'll have any tree frogs this year.

Actually this sounds really interesting. Makes me wish I had a pond close to the house.
