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.
