Pond Activity

The temperature was into the 90's today and when I went to our pond I found this deer trying to cool off in the pond as some geese watched.



After the dip in the pond, the deer went over to check out the geese.



Toads aren't normally aquatic except for spawning. I found dozens of toads in the pond singing to each other.



Several toads at the shallow end of the pond preparing for their version of spring prom.



The bullfrogs were not happy with the invasion of the pond by toads.



I found several of these small catfish swimming at the surface of the pond.



I was able to lift this small catfish out of the water.
