On Golden Pond

A day on the Pond...
Yesterday I saw  a hooded Merganser.  There was a male and female.  I got real excited because I thought they were Wood Ducks.  After a little investigated, thanks Brother In Law, I found out they were not Wood Ducks.  But, this little guy is cool looking too.  I just want some wild ducks to nest so I can watch little ducklings.

Today I saw a nasty little otter swimming around.  I saw one a few years ago when the pond was pretty new.  So, that was really cool, this little seal-like creature swimming in our pond.  Well, after you spend money on stocking the pond with fish, and raise 5 white ducks, and then find out the evil little otter is still hanging around.  The cute little otter became vicious.  This one killed 3 of my pretty white ducks and ate, no telling how many, catfish, bass, and brim.  It was my Brother In Law who caught him red-handed!  Now, unfortunately, I have another one.
