I counted at least 3 muskrats in there recently. I think the original one must have been a female and has a litter now. Also somebody put a big fish in the pond, looks like maybe a carp.
Are you sure that the fish didn’t get there by itself? [link]
I saw just the one little muskrat munching merrily away on underwater flora when I was there a few days ago, but a fellow spectator (the human being variety) informed me that there were several others hiding somewhere in the pond. I also counted eleven ducklings, all having grown much larger than the last time I saw them, along with their mama duck. I did not see any frogs or fish, but I did spot a hummingbird.
