Good news and bad news at the pond this morning. The good news is that the scum (algae) has gone away. I guess it got cool enough or it ran out of nutrients. It’s nice to see clear open water again.
The bad news is, FOUR otters on the pond. Just having a grand old time feasting on fish, frogs, and crawdads. I gave them a stern lecture. Hopefully they’ll leave. I guess I was crazy thinking I’d just have the one a few weeks ago and not see any more.
Ah! The problems of pond ownership. Haha!


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
