I just watched one take a bath barely 6′ from where I’m sitting beside the pond. A boy, tiny and cute!

Eleven days ago, it was a male Myrtle (Yellow-rumped) Warbler bathing 15′ away. I may curse the pond sometimes, but I’m very glad I made it. Big Bertha, Michigan Jane Frog, and Cletus in the deep part, birds bathing in the pool above. Hopefully dragonflies and damselflies later in the year!
