I saw a kingfisher around the pond a couple of times this summer, but it doesn’t seem to have stayed. Maybe the goldfish are too big for it?

There is family of muskrats living in the pond this year: two young ones and two adults. They’re the reason there are hardly any water lilies or other flowers growing in the pond.
