Fred and Ethel Have Arrived!

It is officially Spring now that Fred and Ethel have arrived to test the pond and scope out the yard.  The last several years this couple have come to our yard and tested the digs for what I can only assume is for a possible nesting site.  We fail the test every year, but they do give it a few days of a thorough tryout; swim in the pond, waddle about, eat any scraps of bird seed, sit on the lawn, and on the dock.  Maybe this will be the summer we pass inspection!

Welcome Back!
