A pair of swans visited our pond in early September. Watching them glide across the water was a memorable moment, adding a quiet elegance to the pond's ever-changing wildlife.
Three otters were spotted swimming through the pond in late September. Their movements created ripples across the water, offering a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these elusive animals.
A coyote appeared near the pond on a snowy winter day. Its presence was a reminder that the pond is part of a much larger habitat, supporting wildlife throughout the changing seasons.
Beyond observing birds by sight, I also enjoy identifying them by their songs and calls. Using a bird identification app, I listen to and track different species both around our pond and wherever I go. It has become a fun way to discover birds I might otherwise never notice, reminding me that wildlife is often heard before it is seen.
