Pond Report

Here at waters edge the pair of ducks I found on the pond this morning have spent time enjoying new shoots of grass and littering the water with the remains. I have encountered limping doe and her yearling fawns, a silent flying owl which startled me a bit, gaggle of turtles sunning on a log, and a family of Purple Martins considering making a home in the bluebird house in the front yard. The fishing is slow with a half dozen bluegill this morning.  Wind coming up from the south and bringing the sound of the Soo Line train rumbling up out of Missouri toward Chicago. Probably carrying more trucks from the Ford plant in Kansas City.
