I am a big nature lover myself. My pond was built in the middle of a corn field 15 years ago with 5 1/2 acres planted in different kinds of trees that are large now and draws all kinds of birds and animals. This latest birds to show up that I have rarely seen in my life are Baltimore Oriels. Another thing I have only see a few times in my life are red fox. A couple of days ago at the pond while standing on the deck something caught my eye in the cattails. A red fox came strolling by about 30 feet from me, looked at me in surprise and took off. Dolly my dog was under the deck and she charged off after the fox. The pond is great entertainment and keeps me young.
