One of our Red-legged Frogs surrounded by (and wearing a cap of) Common Duckweed. While Duckweed is quite pretty and photogenic it can also become a problem. Excess coverage on the pond diminishes the oxygen supply to the water which may stunt the growth of plants in the pond water. It should never cover more than 60% of the pond surface.
Surfing our pond on a Water Hawthorn leaf paddle board - fun time for one of the Red-legged Frogs that hatched here last Spring.
Look fast - my name is Townsend's "Constant Motion' Chipmunk! Or maybe that should be "Yellow Pine 'Constant Motion' . Can anyone pin down the chipmunk species pictured here??
