Here are a few pics that illustrate much of what we did in Big Flats: work on our new pond and watch wildlife. Oh, and we went swimming at the various nearby lakes, too.
Our new pond, installed by the hubby and me over a course of two weeks. It runs on solar power for aeration and water. We stocked it with local bluegill, minnows, crayfish and a few others, plus snails, flatworms, etc. I used all native plant species for landscaping.
Turkeys! The woods are THICK with wild turkey, especially this time of year when the hens stick together in flocks with their chicks. I woke up last week to find 4 hens and about 20 chicks at the birdfeeder and birdbath outside my door!
