Really nice photographs John! We have been enjoying our new ecosystem too and I like trying to figure out how to manage it. Wish I had more ducks stick around. I let the grass all grow up in the summer and the Canadian Geese don't like walking through tall grass. I have 6 GC in there, don't think I'll add any more. I love catching big blue gill and hope I can figure out how to juggle all the needs and goals. Interesting to hear about your waves of vegetative dominance. If I can keep a small spot open to jump into in the heat of summer and have a few spots where I can fish the edges of weeds I'll be happy. Hopefully the 4 new GC I put in there have survived and 6 total GC won't be too many. Crazy rain here lately, 5 inches of rain this week has my pond running out the overflow in a steady stream.
