I had a male and a female sitting on my two pier posts respectfully in the perch pond just staring at me. Wish I had had the camera at that moment.


Both Barn and tree swallows as well as a few flycatchers. They constantly buzz the pond. Needless to say between them and the bats my mosquito population is very low. Now if I can just convince the flycatchers to leave me dragonflies alone.
