Finally got down to the water’s edge. Been a while since I took the time. I found one YP ribbon. Don’t know if that’s the first or last. Also, water is still pretty far down. Lowest I think I’ve seen it with YP ribbons in place.

I’m sure I still have a very small leak, but the water is down from pure lack of rain. When we do get some rain, it’s 1/4 to 1/2” and takes its time coming down.

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.
