CC, thank you so much! There wasn’t any odor, and I got pretty close. The wind had once again blown everything into one corner, so the floating “stuff” came along.
I tried to move one and it practically dissolved.
It’s just been a weird year with the American Pond Weed, then the giant algae bloom, then the otters, and now mystery poop.
Still had lots of fish, frogs, crawdads, and glass shrimp. And herons and kingfishers. Two painted turtles that have been there for years have made their presence known since the otters seem to have left for an easier life elsewhere.
Thanks again.


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.
