Just back from an afternoon kayak trip.  Saw the wood duck and her nine ducklings; a great blue heron; a beaver munching on water lilies; dozens of red winged blackbirds; hundreds of blue dashers.  The ducklings didn't skitter into the blueberry bushes at the pond edge when I passed.  No tail slapping from the beaver.  An enormous bullfrog sat a foot from where I landed the kayak, unmoving.

Caught and released a yellow perch.  Yesterday a crappie and a small bass.  Removed a dozen or so invasive european water chestnuts.  Yesterday a pizza box and half a dozen bottles and cans.  And restored a small snapping turtle to the pond from the pool skimmer.
