While walking past the northern end of the ice pond, we witnessed the landing of a somewhat unruly Canada geese squadron at the southern end.
Thirteen fliers are shown.
Cormorant vs. seagull at the little beach
We visited the little beach on Tuesday morning. We were surprised to find two cormorants swimming around. This is closer than their usual visits. I soon discovered they were fishing and being quite successful. A seagull noticed this and arrived to watch.
After thinking how much the cormorants resembled the images of the Loch Ness Monster, I was amazed that one of them steamed around the rocks to get behind the seagull.

One cormorant circles around the back side of the rocks, snags another fish and the sesagull jumps to get nearer
