The bullfrogs are an "invasive" species and are taking over from the smaller native frogs. They sit motionless for hours in the bright sun without blinking an eye. Rarely do I ever see them catch any insects.

I believe this muskrat has a den in the nearby cattails. I rarely see it, but when its young are born it will have to be out more foraging for food and taking it back to the den.

So far, only one Belted Kingfisher visiting the pond now and then. It catches carp, stickleback, and tadpoles. It always likes to keep a long distance from people.

This Canada Goose gosling is now looking more like an adult, but still can't fly. It seems the parents are teaching their young how to dive and swim underwater short distances. This is their defence from swooping Bald Eagles that have a nest nearby and often swoop down to grab ducklings and goslings.

Cedar Waxwings rarely visit the pond. There are a few trees that already have some red berries out that they were feeding on.

This is the "Disney Wonder" on the way from Vancouver to Alaska. Those are the coastal mountains of B.C. as seen from the east side of Vancouver Island. This view is just a 5-minute walk from our home.

A lot of heat haze, even at around 8 p.m.

Beautiful shots, as usual.

I wish I had a view like that even within an hour's distance of my house. If I walk 5 minutes from home I'm still in the middle of a densely populated city. Ughhh.

Thanks for sharing for those of us with not so pretty a neighborhood around us.

Great variety Sr T, frogs always capture my interest, I have seen some huge bullfrogs too!
The KF is a pretty shot with the reflection and lily pads. I have not seen a shot like your submerged gosling before so A+ for uniqueness
Beauties on the CWW's, the 5DSR sure pulls the details nicely. Nice waterscapes, too bad that big behemoth photo bombed you

Take care
Karl

Good set Tony. Love the shot of a goose doing its best anhinga impersonation. Frog looks great too.

Nice set form the pond Tony. The frog and the waxwings are my favourites. Can't wait for my week on the island this June.

Excellent images but that old frog does it for me. If you have never tried fried bull frog legs they are very delicious.

Nice work on these Tony. Agree with James. Get the frog gig out and eat well.

Nice set showing the variety at the pond. Like 'em all but the waxwing pictures are really nice. They can be a tough bird for me to photograph. I love the colors and textures you captured in them. The rest of the set is well-done too and I agree, that's one nice-lookin' neighborhood!

Thanks for posting.

nice looking shots, especially the reflection you caught with that Kingfisher...I'll be enjoying the view by next weekend when I head up that way.
