We have had a pond in the backyard since we moved in. It wasn't very big or very deep. The water didn't circulate well and there was no filter. In short it was a PITA. This summer I've been busting hump in order to expand, deepen, and generally improve the pond. I'll have a post up later with some pond lessons learned.
I was out last night taking some pictures of the pond in order to show off my hard work when this guy showed up.
He stayed atop my fence for a long time. I thought maybe he was thinking about doing a little fishing in my pond. After about five minutes of watching him look around my backyard intently, he jumped down to a lower fence, flushed out the mouse, and before I could blink or snap a picture he flew off with his dinner. The circle of life is everywhere. It's even in the backyard of a nondescript house in the suburbs.
