Thanks guys. I'm sure the turtles will find their way to the island. I've only seen one in my pond so far this summer. Bruce, I'd like enough plant growth to help the island look more natural, whatever that consists of. I guess its going to be trial and error. I still want to find some water lillies and try those out as well.
Speaking of sun bathing, check out these pictures that my wife took today when we pulled up to the pond. It looks like these egrets were taking a siesta. Hopefully they didn't eat too many fish and minnows before hand. This seems to be a fairly common event lately.
